In Short Skirts and Ballet Slippers Dowager and Debutante Puff and Get Red in the Face as Their Instructor Persuades Them They Are DANCING, When Really They Are Figures in the Balance. Working Hard, with Fine By MARGUERITE MARTYN. HERE is a Piece of Mechanism in this city that is causing some of our fairest flowers) of femininity a vast deal of uneasiness. ( So far as appearances go, it is an innacebit\ enough looking contraption of polished and enam- éled metal. But in reality it is a stern, inexor- able judge, relentless in the task i: sets its pro- bationers. And the worst of it is, it chooses for its victims directs its stern edict—against the most petted and pampered of our leisure class—those who are most unused to hardship of any kind. I have seen it sentence certain of our popular gociety women to self-sacrifice and hard labor. Especially does it exact cruel -f?emands ‘of the FRAILEST anu from the FATTEST among them. No, it isn’t an instrument of torture—we 2° en “le living in the Middle Ages. It is an instrument of punishment, though, I may safely say—a judge who punishes offenders against the Simple Life. Know you the Piece of Mechanism? IT ALL HASTODO . WITH DANCING CLASS. _, F you belong to a certain so-called dancing | class you do—though, as I’ve said, it is such an innocent-looking thing you haven’: recog- nized it as a stern, hard-dealing judge. And then you have a friend at court, a go-between, a coun- selor who pleads your cause and makes your pro-' bation so pleasant, you hardly realize you are on trial. ‘ Now, you know-~The go-between is Jacob Mab- ler, the horrid judge, of course, is the Weighing Scales that stand in the corner of his ball room - these -mornings, ‘anti*thre“stéhe of the ordeal of these ladies of leisure is called an Athletic Danc- ing Class. SOCIETY EITHER FAT ~ OR TOO, TOO THIN. ATELY Mr. Mahler has observed that So- L clety is getting too'fat—that is, Societ Feminine (and has Society spelled with a fz $ any other gender?)—or too thin, anemic, ‘undeveloped. : Allied with Fashion as well as Frivolity—and with Fashion demanding, fighting, shrieking for SLENDER LINES as she has been of late, Mr. Mahler’ duty plainly has peen to obtain for buds and belles and even dowagers the fashionable figure. Of course the Dancing Master, pink of polite- ness, elegance, finesse, never would be so plain- spoken as to suggest that a maid or matron of thing. ‘ Oh, no. But he adds a new dancing class to his already numerous established ones,-and makes the lady folk, even while they are perspiring most freely‘ and growing callous places on their hands and) feet, believe that they are indulging in the gid- diest kind of terpsichorean matinee frolics. The women are bidden to come in short-skirted frocks and ballet slippers. Most of them wear the noncommittal, generally becoming middy blouse and accordion-plaited skirts. When you enter the room you think you are me a fancy dress party to which all the women have; — to come as bathing girls or ballet girls’ r “kids.” : O heighten the illusion that it is just a T play time the dancing master himself Aap-/ pears attired in knickerbockers of delicate. hue.

Oh, yes, to all appearances the scene is just: an unusually lively and merry, if, indeed, rather, strenuous dancing frolic. Some rather unusual figures are introduced.)

FANCY STEPS IN SKIPPING THE ROPE. HERE is another in which all are given long T tasseled cords and told to skip the rope.

Then there are Russian dances so vigorous with their stamping and clank- ( ing that they rattle the crystal chandeliers. There are stirring Oriental effects and wild In- dian affairs. There are performances that are regular stampedes. There are contortionist | stunts, acrobatics and really every feat you’d ex-\ pect to behold at a public corner-lot playground. By some well-devised scheme of arrangement, the most viotous of these antics are performed to? the time of fast music in the name of dance.

~ THE EASIEST WAY.” In his amazing plea for a reversal of popular judgment on the record of his administration Mr. Taft offered this explafation of his Winona speech: “fad I known as much then as 1 do now I should have realized that there are some chings one can not leave to be taken for granted. I dictated that speech to a steno- grapher in the cars between two stations, and glanced through it only enough to straighten the grammer: it was sent out by the press with correspondingly little cere- mony, so that the papers received it in all sorts of shapes. If I had prepared it two or three weeks before and revised it deliberate- ly, as I ought to have done, I should have clarified several passages. And, particularly, I should have changed the sentence where I proclaim the Payne tariff act the best ever passed.” He then summed up his tariff reduction fail- ures: “Looking back now on the record of those first few months, I do not see that I could have done otherwise; for, however, far the results may have fallen short of an ideal standard, it is on the Regular Republicans I have had chiefly to lean for support.” “T realize now, though, that I made one mistake. I ought to have made as strong a point on paper as I did on hides,” Concerning the defeat of the income tax meas- ure, he says: “Presently, in the fear of the income tax law’s passing, Mr. Aldrich ceased laughing at my plan for a corporation tax and came down to see me about it.. ‘Can you induce enough doubtful senators, if we put the corporation tax in the bill and adopt a constitutional amendment permitting an income tax to de- feat the general income tax law proposed by the Democrats and insurgents?” he inquired. I expressed my belief that I could, and the sequel showed that I was right.” The mobilizing of the army on the Mexican border, which might have embroiled us in war, is thus explained: “The whole thing was done between two days. Congress was in recess and Knox was out of town. I had no one to counsel with on foreign matters. ~ Disquieting/ rumors from Mexico were reaching me, and, as Mr. Wilson, our ambassador, who had been called North by the illness of his mother, came to see me and revealed his fears in full, I became con- vinced that the rebellion was much more se- rious than we had suspected, and that, no matter how it might end, for the time being a good many Americans in Mexico were ‘in danger.” In reply to the suggestion that his subject might be construed into a — for re-elec- tion, he said: ‘ “Certainly, as is the case with all adminis- trations, much of what I have done since I have ‘been in office has had some political color put upon it by those who were inclined to be critical, The truth is, however, that po- litical considerations have not weighed heav- ily with me.”’ Mr. Taft passes by his extraordinary letter of- fering to give the insurgents patronage for sup- port of his measures, which had been withheld on account of their opposition. He says nothing about the scandalous. Ballinger record; nor does he apologize for the Wiley blunder. But these, like the other mistakes, were proba- bly made on the spur of the moment or were caused by readiness to take what seemed at the critical instant. to be the easiest Way. a er. Lr. A at —~

This year’s football fatalities were 14, the same as in 1910, but four of this year’s deaths were caused by injuries received in last season’s games. The notable fact about the record for 1911 is that only three deaths are to be .charged to the big colleges. This is said to be due to the fact that the new rules of the game have been more strictly enforced taere than they have been in the smaller This shows where improve-

= = ™ — ee THE SAINTS OF SCIENCE. When Mary Somerville died in 1872, she was more than 90 years old and she had lived to find her work done in quiet obscurity as a scholar, scientist and thinker, recognized as part of the permanent literature of civilization. She rose above sex, masculine or feminine. All intelligent women were proud of her and felt themselves the better for her life and its results, and so did all intelligent ‘men. Until recently intelligent women and men have expected the place Mrs. Somerville left vacant to be taken by Mme. Curie. While Mrs. Somer- ville’s “Connection of: the Physical Sciences,” shows comprehensive intellect beyond that ex- pressed by any other woman during either the nineteenth century or this, all things seemed possible to the future of Mme. Curie, until the illusion of her scientific greatness disappeared before the revelations of her inner life, made by the wife whose jealousy she had provoked. No sentence of condemnation will be passed! on her in or out of France. As the winner of a Nobel prize, sharing with her husband the joint honor of the discovery of radium, her work may go -on and receive recognition as far as she can carry it. But she is no longer an inspiration to women, of whom hundreds in this country had been inspired by her reputation to strive for the highest development of their minds, They will feel what the whole history of “pure intellect” shows. The highest places mind can reach are reached only by those who give their whole lives, inner and outer, to their controlling purpose. There is no “double standard” foy them, whether they are men ot women. The" ‘ons and the

‘lication,

saints. Mary Somerville was a8 much a gaint in giving the world the result of her -attainments as if she had lived in the Middle Ages and been canonized. America may produce her successor. Her place is still vacant. “Peccavi,” says Mr. Tatt, but it is temperamen- tal and he will do the same sort of things again before 90 days of the session that opens Monday have passed.

ee ee rv L UNION LABOR’S OPPORTUNITY. labor leaders cannot do a wiser act

Local than turn the McNamara demonstration, adver- tiseqd for Sunday afternoon at New Club Hall, into a demonstration against acts of crime and violence committed in the name and ostensibly in the interest of organized labor. Editor Hoehn of Labor, whose paper has led the local campaign for the McNamaras, correctly stated the situation when he said, “Organized labor if we failed the perpetrators of would be ruined to condemn violence of this sort and crimes.” Labor organizations everywhere woulq take the wisest course if they condemned these crimes and their perpetrators and condemned the crime spirit which had led foolish unionists to bring the organization into disrepute and un- der public condemnation. They should repudiate labor criminals and criminal’ bossism as aggres- sively as they supported the McNamaras. The great fund raised for the defense of the McNamaras might with admirable effect be de- voted to the task of helping to uncover their fellow conspirators and bring them to justice. By utilizing the McNamara mistake-as an op- portunity to prove the devotion of the member- ship of the unions to law and order, organized labor would go far to remove the reproach brought upon it by stupid leadership. - a, iz + ee The artificial rried on =

BERLIN, Dec. . with their grandfather, the Emperor. the holidays, but their father hag declared that this year they shall not go there. 2.—The children of Crown Prince William will not spend their Christmas They Lave never before failed to be at Potsdam for Not even the Empress’ tearful intervention has availed to change his mind and Germany is astir over this new development in the issue between the Crown Prince and his father. The Emperor sent his customary mandate regard- ing Christmas to his son and heir-apparent seme Gays ago. He has just received his reply from Dan- sig, where the Crown Prince ig with his regiment, the Death's Head Hussars. It set forth the son’. conclusion that it was but right that he should cele- brate the festival among his brother officers, to whom his father had adjured him to devote his time and his energies. The wholly unexpected response upset the Em- press. She begged that the children at least be allewed te come to Potsdam. The Crown Princess Cecelie thereupon took a hand in the matter and added her own flat refust&l to permit any such thing after what her husband had said. What the Hm- peror thinks of all this has not been made known. OBSERVING ORDER TO LETTER. Those who know the Crown Prince at all inti- mately have not, however, been surprised at this development. They know with what debonnaire de- terminatien the Prince has.taken his relegation to Danzig at the full letter of the Kaiser's order. They ‘know also how unaffectedly fond he is of his three sons. Just now he is particularly devoted to them, since the shadow of the traditional stork has again fallen across his new home. The Prince likes nothing so well as playing seldier with his sons. The eldest of them especially delights in this sport, and takes to it with eager hilarity. The children all live under the usual regime of the Berlin royal family, but it has been robbed of half the severity that marked it for the Crown Prince and his five brethren. The Crown Princess is in every way what a child once called a ‘‘comfortable mother.” The Crown Prince has a great desire to enjoy life. His friends regard the present instance as.an indi-* cation that he has taken a mental rebound from the doctrine of duty to the Crown and the Hohen- gollern family with which his imperial father drenched him throughout his boyhood. He has come, they say, to believe that it.is quite as mucha duty to make himself and those he loves happy. The Danzig villa in which the Crown Prince and Prin- cess have installed themselves has proved large enough for themselves and the children alone. The nurses and the rest of the household could find no quarters there. The Crawn Prince thereupon began to buy adjoining property, until now he has a little principality, the various buildings being well sep- arated. For all his love for his family, the Crown Prince has by no means been confining himself to Danzig. . The trips by night to Berlin, which have already been told of in these. dispatches, have been frequent. He has sometimes not reached the capital] until 1 in the morning—early enough, however, to enable him to attend performances at the all-night music halls. He has been seeh at the Winter Garten and at the Metropole. ADMIRES ENGLISH ACTRESS. Madge Lessing, the English comedienne, who has long graced the stage here, is the Prince’s present passion. But not even his frank admiration of her has kept him in Berlin for more than the brief time occupied by the performances. At their close he is whirled promptly home in his big automobile, ac- companied by the aids-de-camp who came with him to Danzig. The Emperor has learned of these visits and has made it plain to his heir that they must cease. ! The Crown Prince is bulking big in German affairs, as the people see them. His demonstration during the Rgichstag debate on the Morocco situation is credited to the influence of that arch jingo, Herr von Oldenburg, with whom he has had much to do in the last three years. Von Oldenburg, it has al- Ways been believed, was responsible for the Crown Prince’s attitude toward Von Buelow, this attitude having unquestionably hastened Von Buelow’s fall as Chancellor. He seems to have regretted that atti- tude, for it will be remembered that when Von Bue- low left Berlin the Prince bade him farewell, sent him gifts of parting and went to the railway sta- thon with him. years of age. : ‘also mean “lewd fellow,” ' But one previous incident tn the Prince’s life could have prepared Germans for his Morocco demon- stration. A year ago, when he lectured the profes- sors and students of Koenigsberg University—of which he was the first rector—he declared that he Was tired of this “craze for internationalism which fis fast stamping out our own true German charac- teristies:"" At the same time there was published af autograph letter of his in which he deplored to a friend the fact that Germany has no national game and therefore nothing to keep together Germans abroa : “Beer and skat,”’ he wrote, ‘‘will never keep Ger- mans together in diasphora (exile).”’ CONTROVERSY WITH BEBEL. _The Prince’s appearance “in print’’ may be counted On the fingers of one hand. The first of them was his attack on the Socialists when he was but 2 His father had denounced Socialism the son added thereto his own opinion that the “poverty-stricken ‘Herr Bebel, the leader of the Socialists, was quick to see political possibilities. He demanded: “I wanted to know what political services this young fellow has to his credit that he should dare to ‘pass public judgment on us.

Nominally because of the plague fn China, he was called home In re- ality, so Berlin has always said, he was brought back because he would not “play the game.” He insisted on regarding the journey as one for amuse- ment, not for political advantage. When he talked, he talked of sport, not of statecraft, and the last the most loits, 80

straw came with his narrow escape from death while

, sm

tiger hunting. He was accorded a tremendous ovation last spring when a lunatic threw a tin of baked beans at him and the report spread that there had been an an- archistic attack upon’ him. He got suven another ovation the other day from a company of working- men. The Prince was motoring home one dark even-

ing when he passed an artisan bearing a heavy bag of tools on his back. The Prince stopped the car and offered the man a lift. The man, however, could see nothing but the eagle on the panel of the door, and at first could be persuaded to do nothing but stand trembling. Finally the Prince asked him where he lived. He replied in Berlin, whereupon the Prince‘ said: 2 ‘Why, then, we're fellow-townsmen. Yot must get _” The artisan did; the Prince took him te his cottage In the northern end of the city and pressed a bank- note into his hand as he said good-by. The working- man spread the story, and when the Prince left the following Sunday morning for Potsdam half a hun- dred of the workingman’s friends gathered at the ferry to cheer as the royal car stopped to board the float. ALWAYS ON POPULAR SIDE. The Prince appeals mightily to the popular eye and@® to the popular ear. He will have nothing to do with gerious operas or heavy tragedies at the Theatre Royal. He regularly patronizes light opera, and one of his favorite actors is Gustav Matznor, the gay comedian of the Theatre des Westens. Only in his dress does the Prince run off the beaten German track. His clothes are supposed to be En- glish, although, as a matter of fact, they would sore- ly distress a Bond street tailor. The shop windows have been full of pictures of the Prince in a morning coat—trove of his coronation visit to London—and while the Berlin tailors have protested, Berlin’s smart young men have declined to accept anything else. So closely, indeed, do they follow his lead in such matters that when he once appeared inadvertently with the trousers of his morning clothes turned up they all made haste to commit the same heinous sin. Crown Princess Cecilie has had more to do with this appeal to popularity than anyone outside their entourage can know. She is clever and ambitious she urges him to seize every opportunity for follow- ing his own initiative in public affairs, and con- stantly points out to him other opportunities for getting into closer touch with his people.

WILL CONTEST CERTAIN IF KING ACEPTS $1,000,000 Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. MADRID, Dec. 2:—Friends of King Alfonso are urging him not to accept the fortune bequeathed to him by Albert Chapins, the Mayor of Montau, Chapins left his entire fortune of over $1,000,000 to King Alfonso. He did not leave anything to his relatives, not even to the immediately family. Of course, the family threaten to fight for what they insist is naturally theirs. They say they cannot allow themselves to be made paupers by this will King Alfonso was very friendly with Mayor Chapins. He showed him many signs of friend- ship, but he- says that he never suspected he would be repaid in this manner. He has not yet stated whether he will accept the bequest. He has been advised not to accept it, so that it may go to the family of the deceased. One paper very friendly to him advises King Alfonso that he has an unusual opportunity to gain popularity by showing how little he cares for money, in refus- ing to accept the gift. BERESFORD’S CRITICAL BOOK ON NAVY WITHDRAWN Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. LONDON, Dec. 2.—Admiral Lord Charles Beres- ford has written a book of caustio criticism on the navy of Great Britain, but e volume is never likely to be in circulation, having | been withdrawn “for correction” after advance copies were sent to the press. Just as the book .was to be placed on sale First Lord of the Admiralty McKenna was transferred and Winston Churchill substituted. The new Sec- retary sent a hurried call for Lord Beresford, and when the interview was over the book was withdrawn. It is understood that much of the severe criticism it contains was directed rare f McKenna, and when he had been removed Lor Beresford was antiaties to stop the eeepnder of his book.

ONE OF FAMOUS “SEVEN SINS’ TAPESTRIES FOUND Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. LONDON, Dec. 2.—Lord Anglesey has pur- chased at a private price a plece of Arras tapes- try to hang at Beaudesart, his country place in Staffordshire, which has a remarkable history. It originally formed a part of a series owned by Cardinal Wolsey and illustrating the seven dead- ly sins. For many years nothing was known of what had become of these tapestries and the where- abouts of the other six is still a mystery. This tapestry was found in a country house at Corn- wall, where it was owned by a man whose father had purchased it at a provincial sale for $10. Last year it was sold in London at auction to Capt. H. Lindsay for $30,300. The transfer of the tapestry to Lord Anglesey was made at an ad- vance over the auction price, but how much is not stated. PROSPECT OF HOME RULE BRING IRISH PROSPERITY DUBLIN, Ireland, Dec. 2.—The English bogie builders have always said that home rule would be the ruin of Ireland,’ because it would assuredly drive all the gentry out of the country, they made believe. Well, home rule is very ngar to us now. the coming year will see Ireland practically a self-governing nation once more. Yet the island was never so prosperous. Nor is it merely industrial prosperity that is” booming, giving the poor the strange experience of finding something to feel when they put their hands in their pockets. The Irish aristocracy was never happier and there are more visitors bring- ing money into the country than the oldest driver of an Lrish jaunting car can recollect. -

CHILDREN OF ROUMANIA’S NEXT QUEEN VERY ENGLISH BUCHAREST, Roumania, Dec. 2—Loyal Rou- manians are buying by’ the thousand the newest photograph of Crown Princess Marie and her youngest daughter. Little Princess Deana came as a Christmas gift to her parents. She will be 3 years old Dec. 23, Like her sistera, Princesses lizabeth and Marie, Ileana’s beauty plainly shows the English blood which flows in her veing from her mother. Crown Princess Marie is the daughter of the late Duke of Saxe- coburg-Gotha, whom the English-speaking world know? better as the Duke of Edinburgh, the late King Edward's brother. So Princess Ileana is a great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria. The tincture of Anglo-Saxon in the little Prin- cess gives her big blue eyes, cheeks like apple blossoms and blonde hair that shines in the sun's rays. She is|of a lively disposition, like her mother, who was married when just past 16, and was much in leve with her husband, although the marriage was ja political arrangement. He was indifferent, for he had just had a love affair with Mlle. Vacaresco, maid-of-honor to his aunt. His young wife turned the table. She flirted, going from one gay watering place to another, pro- voked gossip, attracted first her husband’s so- Micitude, then his admiration, next his admoni- tion, finally his love. Blessed by such charming children as they have, the Crown Prince and Princess seem very happy now. RUSSIA’S BUDDING CZAR HAS REAL SOLDIERS AS TOYS PETERSBURG, Dec. 2.—-Grand Duke Alexis, Czarevitch, the heir to the throne of all the Rus- sias, will be a real soldier. A little more than 7 years old, the Czarevitch is being coached by enough generals to form a staff of professors at St. Cyr or West Point. This adolescent Mars ie honorary chief of all the Cossacks in his ‘father’s dominions and Colonel of a dozen regi- ments. 2 The Czar recently detafled a company of sol- diers, whom the youngster drilis. They really are his human automatic toys; he plays with them just as an ordinary boy plays with lead | soldiers, On his last birthday 6000 boys ranging from 9% to 14 years, members of Russia's Boy Scouta, gathered here for a week's celebration, culminat- ing in a review by the little Czarevitch at Peter- hof. The boys, who were clad in green khaki and armed with toy rifles, were quartered in the annexes of chureties and in railroad cars. To the week's campaign the Czarevitch contributed several thousand pounds of candy.

NE —————————— An Unfailing Prescription for Kidneys and Bladder The following simple prescription has proven one of the best remedies known for weak, deranged kidneys or bladder: Get six ounces good pure gin, add to it one-half ounce Murax Compound, one-half ounce fluid extract Buchu. Take one to two teaspoonfuls of this mixture after each meal and at bed time. It is surprising how quickly this stops backache, rheumatic pains in the joints, dizziness, pains in the groin, or other frequent annoying symp- toms that are well: known. For best results, good pure gin should be used in this prescription, also gen- uine Murax Compound, which comes only in sealed wooden tubes. Any substitute will not work so well. Almost any good druggist has these ingredients. Anyone can mix. Bright’s disease, chronic rheuma- tism or dread diabetes come from neglected kidneys. Treatment should be given at first sign of disorder to avoid the serious formg of kid- ney disease. For children, in case of weak bladder, ten to fifteen drops, in a

little water at bed time will correct the trouble.—ADV. tha Baur, Mrs. A. H. Chatfield, Mrs. Frederick Eckstein Jr., Mrs. Marshall Halstead, Miss Krippendorf, Mrs. John Gates, Miss Emma L.

ee OUR TEN-YE Why a Ten-Year Guarantee Is Virtually for Life Any Player-Piano that shows no defect in ten years will doubtless last a lifetime. The New York Music Trades in commenting on this paragraph in our ad says: ‘‘That statement is absolutely true, for any defects of design, workmanship or construction will have revealed themselves long. before that time has elapsed.’’ _——, O GUARANTEL WINS AR PLAYER-PIA EFF PK. Wi we

Expression Devices The eleven ‘‘Modern’’ Player-Pianos shown in our exhibition are fully E g equipped with all the necessary expression devices for the production cf artistic music, but they are made subordinate to the will of the performer. They assist him, but he is at all times the master, in complete control of the instrument and the music that he is playing. The performer who depends entirely upon expression devices and roll markings produces ‘‘ready-made’’ music—the one who uses these devices to assist him produces ‘‘Dersonal’’ music. | ES These devices enable anyone to play atceptably from the very beginning, §. _ - 14 but not with the expression of the trained artist—neither will any other ag player do this. A lot of nonsénse has been written about playing like Paderewski at sight, but this is impossible and it is fortunate for the Player- © Piano industry that it is so, for it is the improvement in his playing that — maintains and increases the interest of the Player-Pianist. ? ue

Pee Ten Years’ Service The guarantee you get here means ten years’ Service. The Player-Pianos sold by this house have needed almost no repairs up to this time and we have HH ifs ad j ee ay Ai | : Le | , the utmost confidence that they will contine to render efficient service in the Dag RE NTT Oi I I | en AR / FY df te 110 RRR Set ‘future, but in the event that any defects do reveal themselves during ten eae OMS Beles ee UR la eet: VT All| hs i SS FE == FH no =e e- Sasa ars, we will either replace the defective parts or make a satisfactory ex- wt meee | ts | + MAN } ULAR SB ENN TINE WA ge. . Ms Our guarantee means that we will do this not for one year—five years— | @ years and 364 days—but for ten years—and any Player-Piano that no defect in ten years will doubtless last a lifetime. Our Free Inspection Bureau Is another tip-to-date feature of FIELD-LIPPMAN SERVICE—and is an added reason why this is the safest firm in, America from which to bny a Player-Piano. At regular periods our expert Player-Piano builders call on everyone who has purchased an instrument from us, and make a thorough examination: of both piano and player mechanism. There is no charge made for this inspection. This is a striking illustration of SERVICE—before and after you buy. ’ Good Pianos—and—Player-Pianos The buyer of a Player-Piano should be certain that the piano into which it is installed is made by a manufacturer of reputation. A Player-Piano can produce no better music than the piano—its foundation—will permit. Manufacturers who have become famous making pianos would not dare to put on the market a Player-Piano not in every way as good as the piano upon which their reputation has been made. Hence be sure that the piano first of all—is of high grade—the player mechanism will be equally high grade.

Ten plate-glass, sound-proof music rooms filled with thousands of rolls of the latest music, in charge of courteous attendants, are at your service. _ Am te & e TS ‘% * Field-Lippman Service Endorsed by America’s Three Leading Musical Papers The approval of these musical authorities cannot be bought—it must be deserved. This house has earned it by the many advantages offered by FIELD-LIPPMAN SERVICE, which presents eleven modern Player-Pianos to select from—extends ample credit—takes your old piano as part payment—provides an up-to-date music roll service—a free Player-Piano inspection bureau—and backs every instrument sold with a ten-year guarantee. From New York Music Trades, November 25. 1911 Field & Lippman, the well-known St. Louis dealers, who carry the Stein- way Piano as their leader, have come to realize the possibilities for the sale of Player-Pianos, and carry one of the largest lines of these instruments in the trade. They have devoted much attention to this specialty, and have just an- nounced a positive, unqualified ten-year guarantee on any Player-Piano they sell. This ten-year guarantee of itself shows the absolute faith the firm has "in their line of Players, and ought to be convincing evidence to the public of the truth of their contention, that the guarantee itself is ample evidence of the reliability of the instrument to warrant this guarantee. In explaining their purpose they say that this guarantee, although indi- cated for ten years, is virtually for a lifetime—‘‘for any Player-Piano that shows no defect for ten years will doubtless last a lifetime.’’ « That state‘ ment is an admirable summary of the situation, and is absolutely true, for any defects of design, workmanship or construction will have revealed them- selves long before that time has elapsed. This order of publicity ought to bring an immense amount of business to the house. Field & Lippman certainly have sold an immense number of Play- ers, and other dealers can imitate their example with profit to themselves, for such a long guarantee will remove any doubt or uncertainty that may exist in the prospective buyer’s mind about whether,the instrument will stand up under the constant daily usage to which every Player-Piano is subject, and since much depends on convincing the public that the Player-Piano will oper- ate as well in the home as in the wareroom, this generous offer ought to make the most effective kind of an impression. From New York Musical Courier Extra. November 25, 1911 The Jesse French Piano Company, of St. Louis, or Field-Lippman as the concern is becoming known, issues a full page advertisement in the St. Louis papers announcing that a ten-year guarantee will hereafter be given on Play- er-Pianos. This is a rather distinctive move in the direction of guarantees on Player-Pianos, and will probably cause some commotion in and about St. Louis, to say nothing of other sections of the country. At Few Ten-Year-Guaranteed Player-Pianos: Melotone Lorraine Remington Hobart M.Cable Behning Kranich & Bach $365 $425 $450 $625 $675 ~ $800 Field-Lippman Service Speaks Louder Than Words FIELD-LIPPMAN Piano Co. a A A LL LD * Serv- i % > is

An inspection of our big stock will convince you our eter Player-Piano headquarters—you will impressed with our careful attention to every detail this important branch of the piano business— comprehend better than ever that all these embraced in the one word—SERVICE. | Your Old Piano as Part Payment From New York Music Trade Review. November 25, 1911 Conversation this week on Piano Row centers largely around a page ad in the Sunday papers by the Jesse French Piano Co. (Field-Lippman), headed ‘‘First Ten-Year Guarantee on Player- Pianos.’’ The ad follows one printed May 23, in which this com- pany announced a five-year guarantee on players and asserted at that time that it was the first house to do so. Immediately other houses announced that they had long given a five-year guarantee, and concerning that dispute the ‘‘ten-year ad’’ says: Eleven Modern Player-Pianos We are demonstrating every type of Modern Player-Pianos, and player mechansim. No two piano houses in St. Louis can, how the variety we have on display, and it is believed that our ex- ¥ hibition comprises nearly as many different Player-Pianos as all # the other dealers combined. In addition to this we have many ’ Player-Pianos not handled by any other dealer here, The merits of the Field-Lippman line of eleven Modern Player-Pianos should be seriously considered by every Player-Piano buyer to insure an in- telligent selection. The ordinary dealer usually obtains the agency for a player- piano and boosts it—makes it his leader. We have eleven leaders, and we do not boost any one of them at the expense of the others. Our Player-Pianos are all high grade—they are all guaranteed for ten years—and they are offered for your inspection. You will find a Player-Piano to suit your pocketbook, and you cannot make a mistake for you are guaranteed ten years’ Service with even the low-priced Melotone as well as the higher-priced instruments. All 88-Note Instruments Our Player-Pianos are al] 88 note—we do not sell 65-note in- struments—they are obsolete, because many of the most desirable selections cannot be correctly played on them. Itis true that some , dealers recommend the 65-note player, but investigation will show ~ that these dealers have a large stock of 65-note music rolls which is fast being rendered useless by the universal popularity of the 88- note Player-Piano.’ The Modern Player-Piano is full-sized 88-note, and plays only full-sized Modern 88-note music. Cash or ‘‘On May 23d the ‘FIELD-LIPPMAN SERVICE’ revolution- ized the player-piano business in St. Louis by advertising a five- year guarantee on Player-Pianos. We claimed then and we claim now that we. were the pioneers in this movement for improved player-piano service to the people. ‘*Some of our competitors resented our statement that ‘other dealers limit their guarantee to one year,’ and out of courtesy to them we discontinued this claim; however, diligent search of the advertising columns of the St. Louis papers failed to reveal any other dealer advertising a five-year guarantee on Player-Pianos previous to May 23, the date that FIELD-LIPPMAN SERVICE created this epoch in player-piano history.’’ The advertisement speaks of the ability of the nine Field- Lippman stores to buy for cash and goes into the story of the de- velopment of the Player-Piano from the beginning. Also there is a discussion of the musical accomplishments and the possibili- ties of having everything from the very simple melodies to the ponderous and difficult classical selections at instant command. The Player-Pianos mentioned as bearing this guarantee are: Melotone, Lorraine, Remington, Trayser, Richmond, Hobart M. Cable, Behning, Kranich & Bach, Welte-Cabinet, Welte-Steinway, Welte-Krakauer. ~

North St. Louis, reeently had a patient who for five years had worked eight hours a day, performing the same task of putting pieces of wood against 3 buzz saw and turning out lengths for wagon spokes. But his hand came into contact with the saw teeth one day and damaged three fingers. That is how Dr. Chopin came into his life. Every day he watched the physician dress his wounds, unwinding the old bandage and putting, on the new. At last he could contain himself no longer, and exclaimed: “Gee, doctor, but year business must be mon- otonous.” —— CHAMP CLARK IS A FRESHET. Se CHAMP CLARK has 8 passion

for making speeches. Soon after he landed in Pike County more than 30 years ago, wearing a high silk hat, a Prince Albert coat that tipped his shoe tops, and a pair of fiery, red wWhiskérs, which would almost match those of Chester H. Krum, he began his career ') as a stump speaker. | vited to make a speech at Frankford, in the northwest corner of Pike County. They started to drive over from Louisiana, but about half way took the wrong fork of the road, which led them to Peno River, which was out of its banks. The prospect of getting to Frankford seemed to be slim, until Ball suggested, that they draw straws to see who should unhitch the horse and ride him across the stream to de termine whether it could be forded with the buggy. Clark drew the short straw, and climbed out, unhitched the horse, stripped off his clothes, and plunged in. Ten feet from;the shore the horse stepped off ; an embankment and dropped out of sight, tak- ‘ing Clark down with him. Presently the horse came up swimming, with Clark hanging on to his mane, yelling like an Indian. It was spring of the year and the water was icy cold. The horse swam on across, with Clark still on his back. Ball sat in the buggy bursting his sides with laughter. Clark looked back, across, and grinned broadly. “Now ain't we in a fine fix?” he shouted across to Ball. “How can I go on to Frankford and make a speech without any clothes on?”

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. SPEED OF BEATTIE. TRIAL A LESSON ALLU.S. COURTS; —Judge John D. Lawson Dean. of University Law School Says Delays Are Due to Faulty Administration. SYSTEM A MOCKERY Strives to Substitute Prejudice for Intelligence—Lawyers Befog the Real Issue. The attention attracted by the Beattie .murder trial because of the speed with which it was con- ducted has led the Post-Dispatch to invite Judge John D. Lawson, Dean of the Law School of the State University atJolumbia, Mo., to make it the basis of an interview on our system of court procedure. Judge Lawson last year visited England as a special agent of the American Institute of Criminal Jurisprudence to investigate crim- inal procedure there and com- pare it with that in the United States. COLUMBIA, Mo., Deo. 2—‘‘The dis- patch. with which the Beattie case in Virginia was concluded is adequate proof that the delays incident to criin- inal proceedings in this country are not _ $0 much the result of faulty laws as they are the result of faulty adminis- tration of the laws,” said Judge John Davidson: Lawson, dean of the Mis- sourl University Law School. Beattie killed his wife in July and was electro- cuted for his crime in November, ius- tice requiring but four months to cun her course and gn circumstantial evi- dence, too. “What is needed in this country is primarily a higher standard of legal ethics. English lawyers do not quibble; they consider that beneath their dix- nity. Some of the objections brought and stated:in our criminal trials by our lead- ing practitioners—notably in the Hyde case when it was before the Missouri Supreme Court on appea!—would be held in contempt of court in England.- Al- legations of errors in procedure which cannot be shown seriously to affect the _ judgment are not considered in English courts, and rightly, too. Country Juries Best. “In the South and ig the Western States of this country we find the pror- est administration of the criminal law and the greatest opportunity for delay. liad Beattie been tried in Texas or Mis- . Souri the trial’ would doubtless have dragged on for more than a year. “The character of the jury may have had something to do with the creditable showing in the Beattie case. Country juries are much better than city juries, because in the rural districts jury duty dt not shirked by the best citizens, while in the city the juries frequently contain a number of courthouS8e loafers who are . Of the very worst class.’’ Judge Lawson contrasted the usual delays incident to criminal procedure in the average American court and the procedure of English courts in such cases by reading the proof of an editorial which will apepar in the néxt number of the American Law Review, of which he is editor, With his permission !t Is given below: “In a mutter of speed, English crim- 2 inal procedure is the hare and Amer- * fean criminal procedure is the, tor- toise, and in the thousands of cases which. are printed in our law reports the Docket (Judge Lawson's nom de plume) has. been unable to find a single one in which the tortoise has under any circumstances passed the hare or even overtaken it, as it did in the well-known fable. ‘“With King vs. Dickman let us compare the Texas case of State vs. Oates, reported in half a dozen cur- rent volumes of the decisions of the Court of Appeals of Texas. In No- vember, 1904, Oates was tried for heving murdered a man named Aron- off in Dallas, Tex. The. proof was that two men entered the store of the déceased to rob him, and when his wife rushed to his rescue and fired a pistal at one of them they both shot at her husband and killed him. ' Am Amazing Texas Example. ‘The prisoner was convicted of mur-* der. He appealed to the Court of Ap- . peals and in April, 1905, that court or- ered a new trial on the ground that there had been an. irregularity in drawing the name “of the jurtrs from the box to select the venire. One of the judges refused to reverse the case on. so slight a technicality, saying: © “'l do not think there is any re- vérsible error in this case. While the statute directing the manner of se- 1écting the venire is mandatory, stil I. do not think the Legislature con- templated, nor can the courts be justt- fied in holding that a harmless error @r av immaterial violation of the pro- ¥Vinions of the statute Im reference to selecting a venire should opérate to a case. The facts show that there were originally 520 names in the box from which the venire was drawn, that 150 names were drawn from said box, leaving 370 nanies from which the appellant's venire was se- keeted. It occurs to me that this Would be such an immaterial viola- tion, if violation at all, of the provi- | of the statute, as would not sechorite a reversal of this the fall of 1905 the prisoner was peas SUNDAY MUKNLING, DETHMBER 3, 1911. bi. LUUls £U01 - oie.

|SOUNDS DEMAND FOR FAST COURT PROCEDURE “\ omy rE wang

on May 15, 1907, the conviction was edie

“Now, one would think that the| judicial comedy had been played to the end, but no; the resources of the Texas criminal lawyer were not ex- hausted, for a month later the Appel- late Court grants a reversal, over- rules itself and orders a new trial, this time because the trial court aie not properly define murder. Calls It Judicial Opera Bouffe. Again Put on Trial. “In the fall of 1908 the prisoner is once more tried and convicted of mur- der. Again he appeals to the Court of Appeals, which, in March, 1909, af- firms the conviction, but the next June it repeats what it had done two years before, orders a rehearing, re- verses itself, and grants another new trial, this time on the ground that the Judge who tried the case was not properly appointed to do so. In May the prisoner is put on trial again, but the jury this time disagrees, and in July, 1911, he is once more tried and convicted, once more he appeals to the Court of Appeals and once more he is given a new trial, this time on the ground of an error in the wording of the verdict. On Nov. 4, 1911, he is again put on trial, convicted of murder and sentenced to be hanged. No Time Lost. “In the Dickman case, the trial opened on July 4, 1910. On July 7.the

prisoner was convicted and sentence to death. On July 22 at 10 o’clock in the morning, his appeal was argued before the Court of Criminal Appeals in London, and at 2 o'clock in the aft- errnoon the judgment of the Court was delivered affirming the conviction. On the morning of Aug. 10, 1910, the convicted man was hanged. “In the Dickman case no time was lost in obtaining a jury. The 12 men were probably in the box when the Judge entered, perhaps the first i2 men that got into the courtroom. There was no examination of the jury on the voir dire and there was not a single challenge. “Contrast this with some of the other criminal trials which have at- tracted public attention in the United States within the past few years— such as that of Shea, Gilhooly and Brown in Chicago, Calhoun in Cali- fornia, and Cooper in Tennessee; with thirteen and a half weeks, nine and a half Weeks, three weeks, 91 days and seven weéeKs respectively consumed in selecting a jury, thou- sands of veniremen summoned, and millions of words used in examining them. Cites McNamara Trial. “The McNamara trial in Log An-

geles and the Hyde trial in Kansas City have now been going on for several weeks, nearly every hour of the time has been occupied in getting a jury, and at the time of the writ- ing of these lines not a single jury- man hag been finally selected, though the newspapers report that it is hoped RR PT EET THIS MAN KNOWS HE TRIED ’EM ALL Mr. Morris A. Altman writes: ‘‘Re- garding Digestit will say, that four weeks ago 1 was in a restaurant eat- ing with Mr. J. B. Miles, and com- plained to him of having a bad at- tack of indigestion. He asked me to step into his drug store and he would give me a bottle of Digestit to try. I tried it and was indeed surprised at the quick result.

MEN AND RELIGION LEADERS 10 OPEN SDAY CAMPAIGN Meetings Will Begin Today and Continue Throughout the - Week. 255 ST. LOUIS CHURCHES Whole Corps of Experts Here to Direct Work of the Organization. St. Louls is the first city of the 15 in which campaigns have been conducted in connection with the Men and Re- ligion Forward Movement in which the entire force of 15.experts engaged in the movement will take charge of the campaign. The eight-day campaign, which opens today and continues through next Sun- day, will have these 15 experts as speak- l}ers at the various meetings, conventions ‘jand institutes that will be conducted. In addition the Committee of Ninety- seven, Which has the entire movement of the country in charge, will meet in St. Louis for.the week to lay plans for the future and to formulate ideas for increasing the number of men in the work. Representatives of the movement from) all cities where a campaign has been made, and in which a campaign is planned for the future, will attend the) St. Louis campaign with a view of get- | ting new ideas. §t. Louis has been se- lected by the operators of the move- ment as the best place to get informa- tion for the better organization of their forces in their home cities. Of the 255 St. Louis churches which have been included in the Men and Re- ligion Forward Movement, mdfe than 200 have a large force of men and boys} who will take an active part in the campaign this week. The Rev. J. C. Armstrong, a Kansas City Baptist minister, has written to the Rev. Clair E. Ames, executive sec- retary of the movement in St. Louis, his impressions of the effect of the eight- day campaign which was conducted in Kansas City last week. He terms the campaign the best meth- od of showing the men of: the churches what work is to be done and how it should be done. The experts show the way, he says, and after the campaign is over those in the churches are left to work out the plans outlined to them. a. A LABOR CHAMPION FORWARD SPEAKER

Raymond Robins Address at Third Baptist Church Today First of a Series. Raymond Robins of Chicago, who speaks at the Third Baptist Church on Grand avenue this afternoon at 3 o’clock, is expected to have something to say about the developments at Los Angeles. } The Committee Upon Social Service, of which Dean Carroll’ M. Davis is chairman, has made a report to Nation- al headquarters upon organized labor in St. Louis. This is part of the sur- vey of St. Louis conducted by Dean Davis’ Committee, and fs to form the basis upon which Robins will comment in his St. Louis address. The interest aroused among the labor unions of this city and contiguous ter- ritory in the Men and Religion Forward Movement, has been evidenced by a formal request from several organiza- tions that Robins speak to them during the Eight Day Campaign in this city, which opens today. This request was sent to the Committee of One Hundred of the St. Louis district, and arrange- ments are being made to comply. CHINESE WOMEN GIVE JEWELS TO CAUSE Mother and Daughter in Boston, Moneyless, Send Gold Orna- ments to Aid Uprising.

{ éivea from the tariff. They have kept all the profits, and the profits they have derived from the tariff have been eut of all proportion to the labor cost. of production. Let me il- lustrate this. - “The wool schedule levies a tax of 90 per cent on the manufactures of wool taken as a whole, and the total labor cost of producing the manu- factured product is about 21 per cent of the total cost of productjon. .If the cost of labor in woolen manufac- tures in this country were double that of the cost of foreign labor, a Pte or 11 per cent tariff would equal.

ize the difference in labor cost at home and abroad ; and yet the present law levies a tax of 90 per cent. “On cotton goods, the labor cost of Production, that is, the ratio of cost of labor to the total of a finished article, is about the same as on woolen g0o0ds and the Republican tariff amounts to about 63 per cent on an average on all cotton goods imported into the United States. This very clearly dem- censtrates th@ if foreign labor is as efficient as American labor—and I do not believa,that it is—a very great re- duction of the tariff would still leave the duties nadine d high to protect cf

pe differences of labor cost.” “Rut, Mr. Underwood, how will the tariff for revenue Only affect the profits of the American manufacturer?” | Mr. Underwood, who had been speak- ing In a very even, earnest tone of voice, answered the question with greater emphasis. He said: Protection Strangles Industry DO not believe there is any more | justification for the protection of the manufacturer’s profits than there is for the protection of the profits the banker, the merchant, the farmer. or the wages of labor.

DR. RADWAY & CO. April 6, 1909. Dear Sirs: I have been thinking for a long-time to write you, but have put it off till now. Well, for the last three years I have had kidney and liver disease and backache, and I have had it so bad that for eight days and nights I could not get my clothes off. I used to put on porous plasters and mustard plasters, and tried most everything. Well, I had some Radway’s Ready Relief in the house that I have used for twenty years for rheumatism. I thought I would try that. I gave my back and hips and sides a good rubbing, and to my surprise, in a | spectfully, eo JACOB ABLE, short time, the pain was all gone. And now I put . D.

Waysf/and Means Committee, answered in a quiet, even voice. “The tariff, unquestionably.” H. paused a moment and continued, speaking slowly and with great delib- eration. “‘My idea about the political situation today is that we have reached a stage in American politics and in the business and economic conditions’in the country, where the people themselves have made the issue and politicians cannot change it The sentiment of the people all over the United States, almost irrespective of party, seems to me very clear. “Ninety per -cent of the people be- lieve that the present tariff is wrong, radically wrong. They believe that the burden of taxation is too great and that it is unfairly distributed. Anyone who is in close touch with the people knows that that is the general feeling all over the country. “Now, I don’t believe that the American people ever settle more than onc great issue at one election. The issue is the tariff, and the peo- ple are going to settle it in 1912. They can be trusted to settle § it right.” Mr. Underwood’s manner very clearly indicated his abounding con- fidence in ‘‘the people.” Many a man in public life speaks of the people in a loose, general way, indicative of disregard and sometimes akin to con- tempt.

His very next sentence laid additional stress on the sovereignty of the people. “The two parties, Republicans and Democrats, have got to present their case to the people, and the people will decide,” said he. “The country will vote for a tariff for revenue only or for a protective tariff. I believe they will vote for a tariff for revenue only and for the Democratic party.” “Well, Mr. Underwood, what is the dividing line between a tariff for revenue and ja protective tariff?” he was asked.

Chief of: these organs are the stomach and bowels. They are the basis of all health, in childhood as wel! as in maturity. Clogged bowels result in poisons. The blood is vitiated, and nervousness, lassi- tude and other disorders result. Soon the child complains of fecling ill, or does not complain but acts it. The mother should Be quick to notice it, Restiess sleep and indifference to food are good evidences. It is easy, however, to correct the trouble, and the careful mother will always have a reliable remedy for the purpose at hand.

After all, government by initiative would be to a very large extent gov- ernment by petition. I am absolutely against the initiative, referendum and recall. But, taking the recall in its worst aspect, the recall of judgea, I do not believe that the judges ever would be so fundamentally dangerous as would the initiative and referen- }dum, which means the end ef sentative government. “The recall of an officer merely affects the tenure of an office, I : believe that, at reasonable intervals the people should have an epportunity, to re-elect their officers, and with short terms of office every election is practically a recall election, and short . terms of office could accomplish much more than the recall”. ~ 1 diocten “Let Sherman Law Stand, but Indicate | : — = | :; Definitely What Business Man Can Do.” ci neem mE RE Ci ii “a By CHAIRMAN UNDERWOOD. | AW in favor of leaving the Sherman Law untouched.

Trade breeds trade, and we cannot expect to develop our own trade abroad if we do not invite other nations to trade with us. We have one of the richest markets lying at our very doors—South America. We must see to it that we gain the con- fidence and friendship of South America by dealing fairly with our weaker reighbors—which we have not always done in the past—and then they will do business with us.” “What else, Mr. Underwood, would you suggest in order to stimulate the foreign trade of the United States?” maintaining prosperous conditions among all our manufacturing enter- prises, and I would regret to see—in- deed, I will do all I can to prevent— any violent action that would destroy business enterprises; but I am very firmly convinced that the Democratic position on the tariff represents an economic truth. “We must abandon a system of pro- ¢ tecting profits and return to a sys- tem that develops fair and honest | competition. ' “To reach this resalt I prefer to lower the tariff wall by taking bricks off the top of the wall, rather than by dynamiting the structure at the bottom. “I believe that if the position of the Democratic party is fairly and hon- estly presented to the American peo- ple at the next campaign, the decision will be without question in favor of a tariff for revenue only.

Thirty years ago, indeed from the time of the Civil | War, we had an undeveloped West. Hundreds of thousands of immigrants poured into the rich lands of the West, building up new markets to absorb the surplus supplies of the East, and our business people did not realize the ne- cesrity of going outside of territorial T i States to find markets. Our best ‘_.siness men were so busy doing the things that had to be done at home in the way of material developments that they gave no thought either to getting Uncle Sam’s share of the earth's trade or to the public, affairs of their own country. “The result—well, everyone knows that our business men failed to study commercial and industrial conditions abroad and were not seekers after a foreign market. In many lines of busi- nes today this condition still exists. Bome few ef our great manufacturing industries have broken through the line and are carrying the products cf Amer- ican labor Argentina, South Africa, India, Japan, Russia and the whole of Europe.

We should encour- age the rebuilding of our merchant marine, and, above all, we should have a perfected consular service, com- posed of efficient men with a good business training, men capable of ad- vising our people as to trade condi- tions in other countries, in order that we may meet the business require- ments of Gur custcmers. Every busi- ress man who has tried to do business abroad knows that our consular serv- ‘ce can stand a lot of improvement, ~ “Then I firmly béleve that we more fully enjoyed the confidence of other countries and were stronger as a nation ourselves when the United States was bounded on the east by the Atlantic, on the west by the Pacific, on the south by Mexico and the gulf and on the north by ‘Our Lady of Snows’ than we have been since we went in for expanding our ter- ritorial holdings DYeyond the seas. There is an immense amount of unused land in the United States today that can be ab- sorbed and provide homes for millions of desirable citizens in addition to the pop- ulation we already have. There is no economic reason why we should seek new territory and add strange raceg to our stock. I can conceive of no good reason why our neighbors in the South, the North, the East or the West should fear an ageressive policy On the part of the Government of the United States.” “Well, Mr. Underwood,” was the next question, “‘what are you going to do dur- ine the coming session?

Morris scattered the diamonds—some for money, others te gain love—from Wichita, Kan., to Fort Worth, Tex., and in several intervening towns young women have been found wearing them. Herman Kohn, a broker in Chicasha, came into possession of some of the gems for little more than a song and turned them over to the authorities after they had been identified. The diamonds were shipped in an fron box which, Morris says, was put aside by a fellow employe, now dead. He denies that he had anything to do with the theft. The express company has identified all of the gems that have been taken frem girls and others as being part of the consignment.

George W. Simmons, chairman of the ticket sales committee of the Grand Opera Board, discussed the relation of grand opera to the growth ef St. Louis yesterday. ‘It makes me tired,” said Mr. Shn- mons, “to hear men, supposed to be level-headed and progressive, refer to grand opera as if it were simply the bigh-priced diversien of a few musical enthusiasts. “Tf this town is to grow as ft should in the next decade in comparison with Chicago, Louisville and Kansas City, it must attract population from the sur rounding region. The well-to-do farmer, who gets ready to retire and move to a large town to educate his children, ought to think of St. Louis. “Here is a letter which the ticket sales committees has just recefved from Mrs. Thomas, the principal of Lenox Hall, in University City. It contains an crder for IT season tickets, so that each student at the Hall may attend at least one performance, St. Louis to Be Opera Center. “Now, Lenox Hall, as I understand, draws tts students from the great re gion to the Southwest, of which St. Louis is the natural %enter. A _ girl attending here for four years and re- turning to her home takes back with her a tastd for opera and the redéol- lections of several opera seasons in St. Louis. She will naturally help to spread the enthusiasm among her giri friends. If she has younger sisters growing up, and her parents decide to move to a city to educate them, that girl’s en- joyment of opera in St. Louis is bound If she marries and settles down at home, she will probably keep on coming here to listen to opera. “This town will ultimately be the cen- ter of radiating trolley lines, connect- ing us with all adjacent parts of Mis- souri and Illinois. That will help our growth amazingly. But we haven’t got them yet, and we ought to take every possible means to make the people nat- urally tributary to us look to St. Louis for those things which only the cul- ture of a big city can afford. ‘The committee is very much grati- fied in the approval of its selections of operas to be given Feb. 2 to 6 at the Odeon. There can be no doubt of this approval. It shows in the increased sale of season tickets at Bollman’s, and that is the most convincing kind of evi- dence.” ~ WANTS ROUMANIANS TO STAY INHUNGARY Head of Greek Orthodox Church Calls Conference to Discuss Restriction of Emigration. BUDAPEST, Dec. 2.—The head of the Greek Orthodox Church has Called a conference of priests, church workers, teachers and university students to find ways and means of stopping the immi- gration of Roumanians who live in Hungary to the United States. In the past 20 years thousands of Roumanians have left’ Hungary and have gone to America. The Roumanians in Hungary are dis- satisfied with their conditions. The | Hungarian Government tries to Magy- arise them. They are persecuted for holding to their own ancestral faith, for speaking Roumantian, for wearing the Roumanian tricoler, for teaching their children Roumantan. It is dif- ficult for them to acquire land. They all yearn for land. They therefore leave Hungary for the United States, where they can believe, live and worship as they please and live up totheir ancestra) traditions. After working in factories they acquire means whereby they are enabled to purchase land. The head of the Greek Orthodox Church, however, feels that ft fs best for them to stay in their native land. He says that many of the emigrants become maimed tn the mills and leave behind them widows and orphans, as large numbers are killed at their work. Then, too, those who have no ambition of any kind are left behind, thus de- moralizing the Roumanian province. WHEN’S HONEYMOON NOT A HONEYMOON?

X-Ray Shows Cause of 2 Years’ Silehce, Forceps Removes It. WICHITA, Kan., Dec. 2—Dumb for two years, from paralysis of the vocal organs caused by.}the lodgement of a small piece of wire in his throat, Lewis Stiger, 5 years old, of Kiel, Ok., is able to talk again. By means of X-rays a surgeon defi- nitely located the wire and using a tiny electric bulb to light the child’s throat and a mirror to guide his instrument, he pulled it out. Almost immediately the child’s vocal organs were restored to their full power. The wire was about an inch long.

Samuel T. Mount was indicted by the October Grand Jury, in its finat report yesterday, on a charge of con- ducting the game. He appeared dur- ing the afternoon before Circuit Judge Rassieur and gave bond for $1000. The bail was supplied by Charles (‘Cap’) Troll, politician and former member of the House of Del- egates. The evidence upon which the in- dictment was based was obtained as a result of an assault upon Dr. Henry Lee Pace of St. James, Mo., who was found unconscious at the foot of the steps of the Windsor Club, 113 North .Sixth street, on the morning of Sept. 14.

FLIES FIGURES’. AT Nil BY LIGHT UF MOON AND AUTO: Under moon and stars, with the gleam- ing lamps of an automobile to: guide him to a landing place, Tony Jannus won his lLcense as an aviator last night at Kin- loch Park. According to the regulations, he was compelled to describe five aerial figures of eight about points 1640 feet apart, alight within 159 feet of a &pot chosen before he ascended, and soar 160 feet into the air. fe The tests began late in the afternoon, and when two of the figures of eight had been made, nighg fell. As Jannus arose, in his altitude flight to a height! estimated at 400 feet, the spectators be- low beheld him dimly in the’ air like the aarknese. For the accurate landing test, Presi- dent Lambert of the Aero Club turned the. acetylene lamps of his automobile upon the spot chosen as the aviator’s target. They not only illuminated the landing place, but informed the flyer / of his distance from the earth. So successful was the arrangement that Jannus made one of the best land- ings in the history of such tests. He alighted only six inches from. his goal. Afterwards Jannus completed the re- quired fgures of eight with the auto- mobile’s’ lights indicating one of the ‘e am. . - . a zens feel that they owe youa |} ———w

; “I am not yet ready to give out the details, but I will as soon as I can. That ‘is a story for another day, gentlemen,” he concluded. Mr. Fredericks declared that James McNamara has not told him any of the details regarding the blowing up of the Times Building, and added that he thought no conclusion should be made until after the man was sentenced om Tuesday. He would not say whether he would recommiend clemency for the prisoners, nor would he talk about the features of McManigal’s story. Asked for the “‘real McManigal confession,” he laughed and said: “I might as well publish a book and be done with it.” The murder indictments against J. J. McNamara have been quashed, or tye same as quashed, and he will be sen- tenced orly on the charge of destroying the Liewellyn Iron Works. Early in the day the District Attorney gave out a statement regard- ing the proposition that was fre ceived from the McNamara attorneys by which a plea of guilty was ob- tained from both the prisoners. He @eclared that Lincoln Steffens acted merely as a go-between in the affair. Fredericks told iow the first advances toward the confession of guilt had come from the attorneys forthe defense as early as last July, and how he had refused to accept anything less than the absolute surrender of both the prigoners when it was suggested that he let J. J. McNamara go free for the confession of* James B. McNa- mara. The offer, he declares, hea had had made to him a dozen times, always with the proviso that J. J. would be allowed his liberty on the cpn- dition that the brother plead guilty. Forced Full Surrender. He declared that Clarence Darrow was back of the whole movement, land that that attornéy used every means in his power to have Freder- icks’ friends influence the District Attorney to that end. ° ‘But I refused,” he déclared, “be- cause I knew I had the goods on these men and that I could convict both of them. And they knew and

they both knew that I knew it. & that, ‘all told, is oes ta ; addition to, the bribe of $4000 taken from Bert Franklin, } United States Marshal, last Tuesday, enough money paid pabsnd the case, as well as other. ent Us ; men, that had been-captured by Detectives Sam’ Browne, toi E: a than overbalance the amount of money offered as rewards fc arrest and conviction of the men who blew up the Times, a ay : age $5. 2 Therefore, their guesses were as “he oS ‘ as mine.

Experts are g0- ing through the McNamara books and papers and a dozen stenograph- ere are preeparing material to be used during the investigation. It is said today that the Federat authorities had struck “pay dirt” tn going through the letters and books of J. J. McNamara in spite of what ig believed to have been an effort on his part to destroy evidence. It is said that some of his letters would not mean anything takeh alone, but that taken in connection with evidence in the hands of the Government they indicate how the gigantic scheme for dynamiting property was manipulated. It is understood that the investi- gation is to be conducted on the the- ory that J, J. McNamara was not alone in planning or-.carrying out the plots to dynamite buildings.

ment, and that they not only knew about his plans, but helped to carry them out as a part of the fight against the open shop. The Federal authorities have cleared the decks for a far-reaching investigation, the nature of which is only intimated. The Federal author- ities are believed to have had an in- timation three weeks ago that the McNamaras would plead guilty, and it is said that they postponed the grand jury investigation on that ac- count. Jehn J. McNamara may be brought here as a witness in hopes of estab- lishing the fact that a dynamite con- spiracy, national in scope, existed, with Indianapolis as its center.

OTHER DYNAMITERS IN BURNS’ NET NOW

Kaplan and Schmidt, Wanted in Times Case to Be Arrested Soon, With Men High in Union Councils |

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Ill... Dec. 2.——“More ar- rests are coming,” said W. J. Burns tonight. “There are others in this of the McNamara brothers. I do not think that the pleas of guilty in the @qase of either man should stop the for others implicated in the plot. “We will soon have Dave Kaplan alias ‘“‘Smithy,” blowing up of the Times building, but there are still a number of.others. It would be Injudicious for me to say how many or the nature of their positions in organized labor, but I will say that there are other promi- until every last one of them is hunted down and “I see tnat Samuel Gompers has Ramite near Indianapolis, and that s a frame up and a knock at organized labor, backed by West- ern capitalists. I can produce half a dozen Indianapolis newspaper men who showed me the news ‘flash’ from Gompers in which he did make those statements. “Gomperg came to Indianapolis, in- vestigated the chargts made, talked to men connécted with the tase and iMke Attorney Clarence S, Darrow Was convinced that the men were ullty before they were taken to lifornia. : “The fact that explosions aimed at open shops and upon shop policies stopped in the arrest of the McNama- were guilty and he knew it. »*Darrow told the deefndants in thés less Billy Burns was discredited. The mnized labor and the red anarch- @ banded together to beat me_ out. was a hard fight, too, but I am jad I won. “When I first took up the case or the Mayor of Los Angeles I had ust about as many supporters in Salifornia as a frog has hairs. Spent £14,000 of Own Moncey. “As a result of the San Francisco ft expose I was ‘in bad.’ And, as I told. later, even Gen. Otis was 4 to put me on the case with a hand. The grand jury stoppe:l Mayor after it had listened to a pat me out of business, and at the ne time save organised labor the blow it has suffered. Even T wpent $14,000 of my own money seen that there was gold tiation to get Money enough to ue the case, lly, my chain of evidence be-

support, with the arrest of the Mc- Namaras as a result. “I still feel, however, that they would have gone ahead with their defense and’ withheld their pleas if we had not got Frank Eckhoff of Cincinnati hidden away. After months of persuasion I induced him to leave Cincinnati, because he is the beat witness we have. He knew of the outrages committed by the Mc- Namaeras and had been in constant touch with them. “After Eckhoff left Cincinnati de- tectives employed by labor organiza- tions went ‘up in the air.’ They even went into court and asked for a writ qf habeas corpus to be served against the police to produce him. When the Judge heard the evidence they pre- sented and threw it out consternation reigned in Los Angeles, and pleading guilty was the only thing left to do. Why, I have had to hide nearly every witness we had rather than have them annoyed, threatened and of- fered bribes by McNamara detectives. This is another fact that I produced for Gompers relative to the guilt of the men. Lp. a BITTER AGAINST - THE McNAMARAS

€ INDIANAPOLIS,, Ind., Dec. 2.—That the McNamara brothers should he hanged, not imprisoned, was the econ- viction expressed today in statements made by officials of three national l!a- bor organizations that have headquar- ters in this city. “The McNamaras took human life, 7 and just as in any other case, the pen- alty should be life for life," declared Frank Duffy, National Secretary of the Carpenters’ and Joiners’ Union.. “They deluded us, and we went down in our pockets for them. We don’t want such men in organized labor.’’ “It is. awful,” said J. W. Dougherty, International Secretary of the Rook Biaders’ Union. “As far as I am con- cerned, they cannot hang them up too high to suit me.” W. J. Spirr, secretary to James M.

EN BERND Tht MNAMARAS 10 BE BROUGHT 10 BAR Executive Head of Erectors’ As- sociation Union Fought Expects Their Indictment Soon.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 2—Walter Drew, chief counsel and executive head of the National Erectors’ Association, which had much to do with bringing the Mc- Namaras and Ortie McManigal to just- ice, declare@ tonight that the confessed dynamiters were merely hirelings in the of a group of powerful con- spirators; that the fight against the In- ternational Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers had just begun, and that in his belief the ‘‘real conspira- tors, men high in the counells, of labor,’’ will shortly be indicted by the Federal grand jury, which ‘is to convéne in In- dianapolis on Dec. 14, “Their crimes are nominal compared to those committed by the men who sent them to do these jobs,’’ said Drew to a Post-Dispatch correspondent, ‘‘who paid them for murdering men and de- stroying buildings and bridges with high explosives. These are the men we want. and I believe that when the United States grand jury again assembles in Indianapolis, events will*transpire-which maras puny by compnarison. “It has been established that John J. McNamara received from the executive board of the International. Bridge and Structural Iron Workers’ Association $1000 each month; that this was deposit- ed to his personal account and that he was not called upon to account for his expenditures. We know that he bought dynamite and nitroglycerin and that he paid for the services of men with this fund. Who Paid the Money? : “Now, what we aim to discover is who actually paid over this money. To learn What this person or body of men. ex- pected to be done with it, and who was responsible for keeping the McNamaras in funds while they went-+about the country murdering men they had never seen and blowing up buildings whose owners they had scarcely heard of. If the public will keep its eyes on Ihdia- napolis it may receive answers to some of these questions before long. “Tt is not in reason to ask the public to believe that the McNamaras had a rersonal grudge to pay in every in- stance where an outrage was commit- ted; that they used their own funds, or that they conceived the methods by which the principle of ‘coercion was made an accomplished fact. Then, who were the men behind the McNamaras? Who engineered the fight and how many men are there who are more responsible than those who have just confessed?” DOES NOT FAVOR DEATH SENTENCE

TEHERAN, Dec. 2.—Persia is in a ferment over the warlike action of Russia, and the excitement in _ the capital today was intense at the news of the Russian advance. Placards Were posted proclaiming ‘Death or independence,” both on the walls of the egity and on the legations., Thousands of persons formed in procession and marched past the le- gations. To ndd to the excitement, two prominent politicians were as- sassinated. Persia’s reply to Russia’s ultimatum is calm. It gives reasons for the re- Jection of Russia’s demands and in- vites the Russian Government to ex- amine into the facts more closely and then reformulate the demands. Messages from the »rovinces assure the Persian Government of unlimited support. A general boycott on Rus- sian goods has commenced and the people are preventing the use of the Russian tramway. M. Lecoffre, whose appointment was employed as an ar- gument against W. Morgan Shuster, the American Treasurer-General, was [AMERICAN IN PERSIA WILL BE PROTECTED WiLL Ay MORGAN SHUSTER been in the Persian Northern service for two years. Shuster merely trans- ferred him to a new post at Tabriz. The Treasurér-General has decided to dispense with the services of British ‘of- ficials, appointed by him in Northern Persia, with the exception of one man who has a contract approved by the National Council. This is Shuster’s re- ply to the charge that he is trying to not wks wd Shuster, but has | Angticixs the service. In an interview today he said: “Sir Edward Grey, the British For- eign Secretary, accuses me of endeav- oring to Anglicize the Persian service. This is absolutely false. It is true that I am seeking here for employes fa- miliar with modern accounting and with a knowledge of the Persian lan- guage and customs. I have found wev- eral Britishers who were available and also two Belgians now in service. Had any Russians possessing the necessary qualifications presented themselves {f should gladly have engaged them. “My desire for Maj. Stokes’ -serv- ices has been explained. Sir Edward Grey’s baseless accusation against me of political bias, and the attitude of the two Powers now oblige me in the interest of Persia, “to dispense with the service of Britishers in th» revenue administration, except the one whose contract has bten ap- proved by the national council. “We have accordingly released Maj. Stokes from the promise made under conditions formutated by his government, and have™revoked the appointment eof Lecoffre at Tabriz.

Morgan Shuster, the young Amer- ican treasurer-general of Persia, whose official head has been demand- ed by the Russian Government, as that of an individual American citi- zen. Although at the request of the Fersian Government Shuster’s name was submitted by the State Depart- ment as that of a person fitted to take charge of the reorganization of finances, the State Department re- gards him as an employe of the Persian Government with whose of- ficial conduct it has no concern. has -—-—- --- = o wees HOSTE TTER COMPAR PITT SSAURG.

GIRL DEFENDS HER RIGHT 10 ELOPE WITH STEPEATHER Just a Stratagem in the Warfare of Love, She Declares, After Arrest. SEEKING TO ESCAPE STAGE a Flight With Mother’s Husband Due to Aversion to Life of Actress, She Says. Whether it is wrong to elope with the husband of one’s mother” depends a rood deal upon the relations of mother and daughter. If the daughter has any truly filial sense it is wrong. But if the daughter regards her mother only as a sister and the two are in love with the same man—then such an elopement is purely a strategem in legitimate war- fare. These are conclusions drawn from her experience by Della Miller, 16 years old, of Kansas City, who was arrested here Friday with William H. Schoeller, her stepfather. They were detained at the request of the girl’s mother, Mrs. Wil- liam H. Schoeller. At different places where they lived since they came to St. Louis, July 8, 1911, they were known as husband and wife. Regarded Mother as Sister. “It all happened this way,” tl. gir} explained to a repor‘er for the Post- Dispatch last night. ‘“‘Since my .ather dicd@I have lived at the home cf my frandmother in Kansas City. After her marriage to Schoeller, my mother lived ir. a different part of the city. I looked upon her rather as an older siste: and went to visit her once in every three or four weeks. There was practicalty nothing of the relationship between mother and daughter between us. ‘“‘My mother’s sister, Grace Washburn, with whom she is living in New York, is. a successful actress. I have -vhat has been called a good voice and have sung in Kansas City church choirs and taken part in amateur theatricals. My mother decided I -vught to go on the stage. Loved Stepfather. “TI didn’t want to do this. Once when I was at mother’s Mr. Schoeller asked why I didn’t Visit them oftener. He sympathized with my aversion to the stage. We became better acquainted, and I fell in love with him. That's all there was to it. “It wasn’t as if we had lived as mother and daughter,’’ she continued, as i? anxious to emphasize that point: ..e never were like that towards each other.’’ The girl did not seem to be worried about her affairs. In the matron’s room she exchanged reminiscences with Mrs. Julia M. Kittinger-McHenry, the woman who was detained when esta abelaits in man’s attire. Schoeller was taciturn, refusing to make any statement except the admis- sions the police were able to dra, from him with great difficulty. He admitted he was formerly a policeman, then a fireman in Kansas City, and that he vas a Democratic politician there. He said he left that city when Hadley was elected «Ov -nor. He is proprietor of a saloon at 6130 Easton avenue, where he and the girl were arrested. The pair are being held as fugitives on the strength of a letter recéived by the police from Mrs. Schoeller.

Dec. 3, 3:30 a. m.—Condi- tions in Nanking are now almost nor- mal. Revolutionaries have placed po- lice patrols throughout the city. Gen. Chang, the Imperial commander, es- caped across the river to Pu-Kow the night before the revolutionary forces entered the city, it is believed, with the consent and contrivance of the rebel commanders. Gen. Chang, accompan-ed by 2000 picked troops from Pu-Kow, proceeded north- ward. It is thought he will attempt to join the northern army through Shan- tung. The foreign warships have -re- turned to their archorage opposite Shai, Kwang. The landing hulks.- will return today. Trains have commenced to run in Nanking. Reports from Sze Chuen province are not reassuring. Many foreigners are unable to leave because the governors find protection from having foreigners within the various towns, which guaran- tees against attack. 9000 FOWLS ARE AT REMLEY MEAT YARDS The public exhibit at the poultry yards of the Maurer-Remley Meat and Grocery Co., Sarah street and Easton avenue, where’ more than 9000 fowls of all kinds have been collect- ed is one of the largest ever seen in St. Loufs.

BILL PROVIDES APPEAL Measure to Be Introduced Mon- day Regulates Injunctions in Interstate Cases. By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—The fight to’ abolish the recently offganized Commerce Court, one of President Taft’s favorite projects, which is to be led ‘in the House of Representa- tives by Representative Sims of Ten- nessee, will open Monday, when Sims will introduce a bill to carry out his purpose. The measure, made public today, provides that all cases now consid- ered in the Commerce Court shall in the future be handled in the Fed- eral District Courts, and for an ap- peal direct to the Supreme Court. The bill also authorizes an appeal from the: District Court to the Su- preme Court on an injunction re- straining an order of the Interstate Commerce Commission; and provides that such appeals’ shall be given preference over all but criminal cases, by the Supreme Court. Provision is made that no injunc- tion shall issue against an order of the Interstate Commerce Commission unless the court can point to. evi- dence that irreparable injury will re- sult from the enforcement of the order. In no case shall an injunction against an order of the Interstate Commerce Commission be effective for more than 90 days. ot. L. U. President Fr.

GIRL OF 5 AT PLAY RUN DOWN

BY AUTO TRUCK Witnesses Say Driver Was Going Along Slowly When the Accident Happened. BOTH HER LEGS CRUSHED Front Wheels Run Over Child Before the Machine Can Be Stopped. Running gayly in front of two older sisters, Mary Zoeller, 6 years old, daughter of Joseph Zoeller of 302 Sou- lard: street, forgot to look ahead as she started across Broadway in front of her home at 6 o‘clock yesterday evening. A heavy auto truck belonging to the St. Louls Transfer Co. struck her and the front wheel passed over her. George Goddard of 60 Union avenue, who was driving the truck, halted it be fore the rear wheel touched the crushed body. A bystander lifted the child from beneath the vehicle and carried her to the office of Dr. Julius Backy, 1631 South Broadway. He found her inju- ries so severe that he sent her to the city hospital. Both of her legs were broken. Goddard was lodged tn the Soulard Street Police Station. George J. Tan- séy, president of the company by which the chauffeur is employed, was in- formed of the accident by telephone and hastened in his automobile to the home of Judge Rassieur, who accepted him as surety for an $800 common law bond for Goddard. Spectators told the police that the truck was running slowly and that Goddard was not to blame, Mary Zoeller is one of five children. Those who witnessed her misfortune were Annie, 9, and Kate, 6 years old.

Felonious flight, and probably manslaughter, will be charged against Carl Nolte, following the ac- tion of the Coroner’s jury yesterday in holding him guilty of criminal carelessness in the Killing of John W.

He was remanded to the Circuit Attor- ney, and an indictment or an inform- ation will be issued in a few days, Nolte admitted at the inquest that, after having taken «several drinks, he was running the car without any means of warning pedestrians.

Witnesses said his speed was 25 to 30 miles an hour, Flight under such is a felony.’ The testimony at the inquest showed that the machine belonged to John Holland of the Marquette Hotel. Three eyewitnesses told how Nolté, running the car at high speed, did not sound his horn or turn out to avoid hitting Groves. Ed Meyers of 1114 Chouteau avenue, one of the three, said he was nearly run over. Nolte was told that he could make a sworn statement or keep silent. He chose to testify, and said the automo- bile ride, in which he had four com- panions, two of them women, started fnom Washington and Jefferson ave- nues at 3 a. m.

After he had-got out of the way of the machine he stepped back in the way again. After the machine struck him he clung to the bumpers for about 25 feet. I was so excited that I kept on. I meant to surrender to the police, but was arrested before I had a chance to.” The other occupants of the ma- chine, Claude Bernero of 603 Beaumont street, George Boehm of 4316 North Grand avenue, Ruth Stevens and Cyn- thia Carroll, were held as witnesses, and were sent under police escort to the Circuit Attorney’s office.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—Senator Simon Guggenheim of Colorado will not be a candidate for re-election, and will quit the Senate upon the expiration of his term, March 3, 1913. This announce- ment was made today through a let- ter addressed to Jesse I. McDonald, chairman of the Colorado Republican State Central Committee. Senator Guggenheim said he had de- fined his position on the political situa- tion in a letter to Chairman Work in 1910.

It is natural that an instrument that has opened up to the whole public the most beautiful, “‘the most nearly divine’’ of all the arts—that has been signally honored by the approval and use of such musical authorities as Paderewski, Strauss, Debussy, Grieg and scores of others, should have imitators.

He Leads Mound City Crowd With 571—New Alleys Rea- son for Poor Scores.

» - DES MOINES, Io., Dec. 2.—St. Louis bowlers did not accomplish the great pin-toppling feats expected of them to- night, when the annual Middlé West tournament opened. The newly planed alleys, installed for this tournament, seemed to worry the Mound City en- trants and only mediocre scores were made. In the five-man event the Old Lynchs did the best work, upsetting 2770 maples, a mark that is sure to be beaten before the tournament comes to a close. The Union Sodas was the next strongest St. Louis entry, with a mark of 2753. Jule Schmitt of the Old Lynchs, with a three-game total of 632, was high in the five-man events. Jule started with a 226 game, came back with 214 and then dropped to 192. Wooster turned in a 498. In doubles, Masson and Hilker set the pace for the St. Louis rollers with a total of 1164, which does not loom up as really formidable. Qualey and Lam- bert upset 1103,.Qualey doi.g the heavy work. None of the St. Louis players did any noteworthy stunts in the singles. A. J. O’Brien, with 671, was high, and his mark is sure to be surpassed. The St. Louis bowlers will wind up _ their matches tomorrow afternoon.

Mason, Gerald Shea and Jack Tully, former members of the team and “pals” of Klosterman, but when they proved that they were not up to his standard of performers, he didn’t hesitate to hand them their releases. Klosterman always makes it a point to sign up two or three juveniles each season to keep youth and speed in his lineup. At the same time the success of. this wonderful aggregation of kickers can- not be attributed to practice. Accord- ing to Klosterman, his men have not. toed the pigskin at any time this see- son, only in the league games and the 10-minute ‘‘warmup” session that is ps-- mitted before each contest. Winning without practice, though, can partly be laid to the fact that his men are always in good physical shape.

claimed the Western championship. But since the St. Leos entered the profes- sional class they have had little diffi- culty in beating the Windy City. ex- perts in annual intercity matches, and when the Mullanphy street chaps beat the Woodlawns last season by an 8 to 1 tally it settled for all time the question of superiority. For that reason, bigger game was sought and it is expecied to be found in the Tacony team of Phil- adelphia. “Bill Abstein has watched the East- ern teams play, and savs they are poor goal scorers,’’ said Klosterman to tua Post-Dispatch, ‘‘but I fear we will meet a worthy foe in the Tacony team, In looking over their record for the sea- son, I find that they have scored 24 goals in five games to date this season, while but one tally has been register2d against them. That would indicate that they form a pretty aggressive as well as defensive eleven.”’ The St. Leos started out as*an ama- teur team 10 years ago and won the pennant in a league which played its games on the Christian Brothers’ Col- lege campus. ‘Next they performed in the Sodality League, which staged its games in Forest Park. They were also winners the following season in the same league, playing games at Forest and O’Fallon parks. The Champions started out as semi- professionals seven years ago in a league at Empire Park. Six years o.9 théy branched out as real profesrionais, and for two seasons won the pennant in the Kulage’s Park League. This is their fourth season in the Athletic Pari League and the big question of rivo! managers now is to devise some means of beating the Champions.

All of which may work a hardship on Messrs. Murphy, and other members of the personally conducted Press Agents’ Club. Mrs. Britton will attend her first meet- ing in New York next week and whether 4 other magnates is a question only she can answer. However, it seems highly probably that President E. A. Stein- inger of the local club will cast Mrs. Britton’s vote. The St. Louis party to the ‘National League meeting will include Mrs. Brit- ton and her nusband, President Stein- inger and Manager Bresnahan. Ac- cording to Treasurer Seekamp, Mana- ger Bresnahan will not visit St. Louis prior to the trip to Gay Gotham. Roger will join Mrs... Britton and President Steininger in New York. Bresnahan is suffering from a severe cold and for that reason has abandoned the idea of coming here. Roger wil! call immediately after the business ymeeting in New York, though. Bresnahan is going to the National League meeting loaded for game.

Valley Power Boat Association, announces that the world’s record speed’ boat teliance, owned by John J. Ryan of Cincinnati, will be shown here, Motor-boat fans all over the coun- try have awaited an opportunity to inspect this speed wonWer ever since she lowered the world’s record here at the recnt regatta of the Caronde- let Motor Boat Club, when she cov- ered the first five-mile lap of a 20- mile race at the rate of 43 statute miles per hour. This is close to three miles per hour faster time than the Dixie IV made in the internatiopal race in October. Ryan will also send the Reliance trophies, valued dt $10,000, the man- agement having agreed to provide special guards to watch the display night and day during the week of the show. In addition to its display of boats, a panorama motor boat race, said to be the cleverest imitation of a speed contest ever worked out, will be shown, GOTCH SIGNS FOR HIS FAREWELL BOUT KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 2,.—Alec Munro, the British wrestling cham- pion, today accepted the. offer of Frank Gotch for a match for the world’s championship here Dec. 27. In a letter to the Missouri Athletic Club, which arranged the match, Gotch announced that with this bout he would retire from the mat. Munro sailed for America today. The match, which will be to a finish, catch-as-catch-can style, will be held in in Convention Hall. The club guaran- tees $10,000, of which 75 per cent goes to the winner. In a letter to Matchmaker Scoville, Gotch says it will be his last appear- ance on the mat. “I've had enough of the game,” the champion wrote. “I sail for Europe Jan. 10, for a long rest. It is very doubtful if I ever appear again.”’ AMERICAN LEAGUE TO HOLD OPEN MEETINGS CHICAGO, Dec. 2.— American League meetings hereafter will be open to the press and the public, announced President B. B. Johnson tcday, following an expression by President Charles W. Murphy of the Chicago National League team that the latter would oppose secret ses- sions in that league hereafter. President Johnson added, however, that this year’s meeting would not come under the new order of things, since it would be held under the terms of the old constitution.

BIG SEASON FOR SPORT Tournaments Are More Numer- Cus Now Than Ever Before in History of Amateur Game. By HARRY SHARPE. Referee of Boxing Bouts for St. Louis Athletic Club and the Post-Dis- patch’s Pugilistic Expert. OXING tournaments for ama- teurs are more numerous now in St. Louis than ever before, due in main to the fact that our ath- letic clubs are giving the sport an impetus that spells healthy existence, In addition to this, the boys who par- ticipate in these tournaments are being losely scrutinized by local offi- cers of the Amateur Athletic Union, : sO as to guard against “ringers,” and none but the simon-pure may enter. The physical ability of all entrants to safely enter into competition is carefully noted, and handsome med- als, watches, fobs and cups are given to the winners of first, second and All these things are an incentive to the development of box- ing abllity, and the result ts shown in the number of boys here whose skill is far above the average, The development of gcod “sec- onds” is not keeping’ pace with the development of good boxers, however. Many who have been seen assisting in the corners between rounds do more harm than good, because, tn- stead of exerting a soothing and rest- ful influence, they keep their charges — in such a turmoil ‘of excitement that at times it is actually a relief to the boxer when the rest period of one” minute is at an end. Rest and Air Needed. Generally speaking, a boy itn good physical condition needs nothing more than rest and plenty of good, fresh air after each, round in these amateur affairs, where the bouts can never be of more than four rounds. and more frequently are of three. Now and then it may be necessary to apply a little water or collodian to siop a flow of blood from the nose or from some minor cut for these things will happen in so strenuous a sport as boxing, but are seldom serious and are soon forgétten. good second will take care of thése things without much trouble and with but little discomfort to his man. But the second who douses his man with cold water; nearly smoth- ers him by covering his face with a Turkish towel and then insisting that he snuff smelling salts or ammonia, and finishes by making him drink water from a bottle whether he wants it or not, is a positive handicap. Seconds should remember: Let your man rest when he comes to his corner. Fan him siowly and regularity. What he needs most is air. Don’t give stimulants unless absolutely necded, Don’t shock with cold water, smelling salts, ammonia, etc., un- less needed to arouse. Don’t make your man talk and don’t do any talking yourself un- less to encourage. Don’t worry your man by tell- ing him what te do and finding fault with him for not doing it. Remember he its doing the hox- ing, and doing {tt the best he can, If your man ts knocked out, see that he has afr and is breathing freely, then dou’t disturb him un- til he regains consciousness. Don’t hesitate to let your man quit if he is “all in.” I¢ may be dangerous to continue, All rules have some exceptions, In an emergency use your common sense, i --- -o— —" Boston Cucist Ie Winner, BOSTON, Dec, 2—Warren of this city defeated Mayer of Philadelphia in the third game between the two cities im>the National Amateur Bili- liard League by the score of 50 to 37 at the Imperial billiard parlors this evening. eee Sophs and Freshies Draw.

HANKSGIVING day closed one of the most peculiar of ail football comedy of errors from start to fin- ish, the result of each contest being more or less of a gamble— teams never gure of victory in spite of the adds. The dope of the best authorities was continually proven wrong, in spite of all appearances before the games and, in fact, the entire sea- Bon was one-of surprises and unlooked‘for occurrences. Even the weather conditions seemed to enter into the results this year more ever before, since several of the important games were pla ied un- miserable conditions. Fields soggy “with water caused“Yale’s downfall par- ticularly when up to the close of the season Yale was predicted and heralded as the probable winner of the champion- ship of 1911. To Princeton go the honors this year, and to her all credit is given for her «ec- complishments. A nervy, hard-working _owd of men under the able leadersnip or Capt. Hart snatched the champion- Ship from all rivals. Trained to take advantage of others’ mistakes and mis- Plays (chiefly through the prowess of Sam White, the Tiger end), they will go down into history as one of the great- est teams Princeton has ever produced. The Navy deserves mention in con- nection with the champions, and some, ' no doubt, will award the championship to the Midshipmen, but, taking every- thing into consideration, it seems that the Princeton team should be given first having defeated Dartmouth, Harvard and Yale. Next we come to Harvard and Yale, : both of whom are defeated teams. Each victim to the Tiger, and in addition h lost another game, Yale to the Army and Harvard to the Indians. In Spite of the fact, however, it seems to “me at they come next in order of Ss 1m White Named rank, since it was an admitted fact that they were superior in team work and individual play to all ~+the others. It is a real task to choose the eleven best individual players of the country, but, since it is the custom, it is my in- tention to do my best along this line. I have endeavored to look over the entire situation with unprejudiced eves and I am simply choosing the men

whom I would prefer to have. on the team on which I placed my hopes. Over All Ends as the Most Successful Player |} TARTING with the end position, one ma because of his un- precedented success, wins first E place—Whiie of Princeton alone won two games for his team, and those .two games were the most importdnt | of the Tiger schedule. Speedy, heady and always on the alert, White will _ &0 down into history as a man who “has done as much for Princeton foot- ball as any other Princeton man ever ala. He will be classed with the “Poes and Dewitts, and his picture will oo hung in the Princeton hall of fame “tor admiring posterity. It is true that, aside from his two spectacular » guns, he would not have been chosen; dut throughout the season, neverthe- _ tess, his playing was at all times that 4 Of a great end and his recovery of | Remit ahd efttical | ’ tles the point finally. — i a See" after careful consid- moments set- For the other end position there is 0 allie of Yale and L.

Both these ends were remarkable in their play throughout the season and crowd Smith for sec- ond honors, For the tackles it is hard to select two men who are better than the rest. After careful thought it seems / at Brown of the Navy and Capt. Har: of Princeton head the list. Last year Brown was looked upon by many as one of the best and this year his playing has improved. Capt. Hart, although not a brilliant man, is‘a cool, keen player on whom anyone could rely. His playing was rot spectacular, but it was always sure, and his leadership was so noticeably ex- cellent that I place him on this first team. In the guard positions I place Duff of Princeton and Capt. Fisher of Harvard. Capt. Fisher, the All-American guard last year, was the same cool, consistent and steady player of a year ago. It seems that there will be little doubt of his unanimous selection. Duff of Prince- ton was the mainstay of the Princeton defense. Time and again he ~° would break through the opposing line, down- ing the runner for a loss. His work in the Yale game was particularly spectac-

In the backfield there is wealth of material, and it is almos#mpossible to single out three superior to the rest.

Lightweight Champion of Amer- ica Meets Local Youth in Fin- ish Match at Concordia Hall This - Afternoon — Previous a kink in its reputation. In Chicago, when a citizen seizes his nasal organ between thumb and fore- finger and at the same time makes a WAY = icine is a game with many in the neighborhood, you immediately understand that someone has been in- discreet enough to bring up the topic of wrestling. This was also true in St. Louls, séme years ago; but the atmosphere has cleared since, to the extent that there will be a match here Sunday, where the onlookers at the ringside need not overlook the contest with patent clothes pins on their noses. In fact, quietly enough, St. Louis has developed a near-champion. His name is Al Wasem. He works, not wrestles, for. a living; he is but 23 years old. If he wins his finish bout with John Bil- liter of Cleveland, this afternoon at the Concordia Turner Hall, he will be undisputed lightweight champion of the United States and Canada. Former Champion Through. For the once great lightweight won- der, Max Luttbeg, is all in. This very Billiter has twice beaten Luttbeg, with- in the last two years, indwating that the one-time little giant of the wrestling game is losing his grip through ad- vancing years. The last time they met Billiter upset Luttbeg twice in 21 min- of Luttbeg. That Billiter is, however, a wonderful wrestler is shown by a draw with the great Harvey Parker, and a 4 hour and 30 minute draw with Eugene Tremblay, who at one time was supposed to be the coming champion, until advancing weight put him out of the lightweight ranks, In the meantime Wasem, a mere stripling, was learning in the hard local school of wrestling. St. Louis has some fair wrestlers, but it was not long before Wasem began to outstrip them all. When he was about 21 years old, Luttbeg saw Wasem and be- lieved he had found the man to ultimately take the measure of Billiter. He taught him all his tricks. Wasem’s reach, speed and gameness made him an admirable pupil] and he could take a flyer at Billiter soon after. He went to Toledo and two years ago, after so heavily eff the mat that he was hurt and) had to surrender the match. Over a year later Billiter again lured him to Toledo and they wrestled for three hours to a draw. Their third meeting will be Sunday and the title indubitably rests on the result of this contest. liter this time or not, he seems reasonably certain to own the title unlesg injury puts him out of the sport. He is 23 years old and coming, while Billiter is 82 and going. Two years more of experience should see Wasem without a peer in his class, Wasem has not many noted victories on his list. He finished second to Luttbeg in the championship tournament at Chicago two years ago, and he has beaten every man of his weight he has met, save Billiter. The latter’s record will be found herewith. It shows his right to the title conclusively.

HH again, the doctors of Scranton, Pa., said last night. And a rare thing for the American League it is that such is the case. Had Jennings been killed in the auto accident or even permanently hurt, the junior or- ganization of the. major baseball world would have been left with but one tried and proven manager—Con- nie Mack. With the tnspiration of Jennings gone from the Tigers, that club, already shaky, would probably have fallen apart, leaving not a team the League able to even get within hailing distance of the waney cham- pions, NEED HIM IN THE BIZ. UGH JENNINGS will be with us HERCULES MISSED SOMETHING. HE naming of an all-American 7 football team would undoubted- ly have been one of the tasks of Hercules, had that husky heavy- weight been assigned to duty in mod- ern times. Especially is this true in selecting the all-wonderful back field, Both West and East mi&ny star. half- backs have been developed. Sam White is given a place at end by most critics, probably more be- cause of the success of his efforts in important instances than on all- around reliability. There ought to be no hard feeling on the part of any good man from a Western team who fails to gain rec- ognition on an all-American. matter of fact, there are not 11 “best” men in the country. Probably half a dozen teams could be picked East or West which, if it were possible to play them one against another, would go to a 0-0 tie, unless Dame Fortune put her mitts into the game. e * a MORE WHITE HOPES.

ALZER is a great bear of a man ~ weighing 215 pounds. He is more ponderous than Kennedy, but he has the fighting instinct and is the as- similating kid when it comes to taking punishment. Crude as he is in some re- spects, he has it on Morris, even: now, game. Kennedy is the real hope of the two, the experts think. He is a 195-pounder, with plenty of steam behind his blows and speed in his number eights. He is skillful and has courage. Palzer pun- ished him hard late in their second fight, and Kennedy took the gaff splen- didly, indicating that he has courage as well as other qualifications. | IS GAME ENOUGH, ORRIS, it seems, cannot shake VI himself loose from the infirmi- ties of his underpinning.- His legs simply cannot learn the tricks that go with successful footwork. Further- more, his attack is apathetic. He is of undoubted gameness and stdod enough punishment in the Flynn fight to beat six men; but other things are needed to make a real fighter.

THE LOST WORD. Seated one day at the Oliver, I was weary and ill at ease; And my fingers pounded wildly On the near-ivory keys. I was writing a baseball story— "Twas a nifty tale for fans— About the Browns and the Colonel, Regarding their future plans, It flooded the copy paper, That story it was a bird; But I came to the end of my tether, For I found I was shy one word. It was not a word, exactly, But amounted to.much the same; In fact, I was vainly seeking The Browns rext manager’s name. I have sought, but I seek it vainly, That one lost word divine, That lay'in the soul of the Oliver, But entered not into mine. It may be that, some day, the Colonel Will open his mouth again And speak that word, in which event I'll respond with a grand Amen! Tiger Eleven to Lose Blees and Dexter in 1912 Halfback Will Withdraw From School While Injuries Will Bar Quarterback.

COLUMBIA, Mo., Dec. 2.—Dave Dex- ter, the starry halfback, and Billy Blees, quarterback, will probably not return to Missouri U. next season. In fact it is no certainty that either of the football players will finish out the present sem-. ester. Blees still is in the hospital, re- covering from injuries received in the Kansas game. Both Blees and Dexter are behind in their work and the“task of getting on an even footing with their classmates ig no easy one. It is said Dexter has decided to. withdraw. after the Christ- mas exams. The loss of Dexter and Blees, should, they go, will be a sad blow to ihe Royal Bengal eleven. Dexter developed into the best halfback on the eleven, al- though he is still lacking a little in ex- perience. -Next year he was expected to prove the star of Brewer’s team. 2 COLUMBIA RESULTS.

EDDIE MEY is GETS DECISION OVER J. MURPHY Business Men’s Gymnasium Boy Has Close Call With I. A.A, o C. Star. GILMASTER SHADES LYONS Final Bout Is Productive of Best Boxing in Amateur Tourna- ment. # By W. J. O’CONNOR. Eddie Meyers, who not long ago ran second te Bobby Gresham in a bout at’ the Columbus Club, scored a none too ropular victory over Jimmy Murphy, — the Irish-American A. C. mitt-wielder, in the feature event of the second night’s fistic entertainment at the new club on Pine street. The Meyers-Mur- phy bout was the redeeming event of a very mediocre card. Both the kiddos fought hard and fast and, although out- pointed in the first and second round, Murphy came back in ‘the third like a storm from a clear sky and had Meyers tottering on his pins when, the gong stopped the milling. The judges disagreed and Referee Har- ry Sharpe then awarded the decision to Meyers, who carries the colors of the Business Men's Gymnasium. - Many voiced ‘their disapproval, but Murphy's eG name and the fact that he represented “i the Irish-American Club, In whose ram- >» parts the bout was staged, might hane Teil 1" 3 n 4 prompted this outbreak. * tx ¥. There was lots of variety, during the’ = evening. A pair of heavyweights, by name Earl Galloway and Nick Weber, hailing from whereabouts unknown, pulled a travesty that surpassed the best burlesqueing ever attempted by Bickle and Watson, of Follies fame. Nick Weber, with hair like Pader- ewski, gave a beautifal imitation of @ stage-truck country girl making her first appearance before the footlights.. fought in a frenzy of despair and at times absolute fright. He shied at the rushes of Mr. Galloway, who has de- veloped wonderful dancing prociivities under the tender tutelage of Barney McCarthy, like an unbroken horse at a runaway umbrella. . Nick was tickled green when the gong tapped for the finish. The judges award- ed the decision to Galloway amid the cheering of many spectators and Ber- Pardo McCarthy, the “fighting Hiber- nian.’ Gilmaster Wins From Lyons, Charles Carmesa@m, an unattached boy, who won from Charlie Cain Friday evening, and Eddie O'Donnell West End A. C., gave the most iadylike exhibition of the evening. -Both were rood sprinters. They tapped each other with the utmost care, and then dashed away on @ three-lap gallop around the ring. For speed they took the prize, but as fighters they registered a sad disappointment. Carmessa, Who was given the decision on points, fs a. clev- er chap, but his jigging last night did not please the populace. The final bout was a real one, and ran a close second to the Meyers-Murphy soiree in the poptlarity contest. Fred+ die Gilmaster of the 8. B. A. C. won on decision from Bobby Lyons of the west End A. C. This bout was productiv of some good milling and clever boxing, Gilmaster’s victory was a popular one.

Louis manager ed with the Association cup won by the touring car The Simplex Automobile Sales Co., of the King car, and will unload three of them Monday. They are the first King, WOULD PROHIBIT MUFFLER-CUT-OUT NOISE AND SMOKE Councilman Fletcher’s Anti-Noise and Fumes Bill Indorsed by Automobile Club.

The Automobile Club of St. Louis favors the passage of the ordinance in- troduced in the City Council by Coun- cilman Fletcher, prohibiting the unnec- essary emission of smoke from automo- biles while on the streets, prohibiting cutting out mufflers and regulating the use of horns and other signaling de- vices. i “Our Board of Governors and Legisla- tive Committee,’’ said Roy F. Britton, president of the club, “have made an investigation and study of similar or- dinances in force in ‘other cities; and we believe Dr. Fletcher’s bill embodies the best ideas on the subject. Foul- smelling smoke, the loud and rapid re- ports made by the exhaust, when the muffler is cut.out, and horns giving forth long screeching blasts are nuis- ances which ought to be abated. The club always vigorously opposes all will- ful, improper uses>’of motor cars which militate against those who use their cars “and appliances legitimately and with care, for we know that public sentiment is not discriminating; it does not separate the good motorist from the bad one, but subjects them all to con- Cemnation when it is aroused by any sort of vicious practice. Oppose Muffler Cutout. ‘The use of muffler cutouts is not necessary in the city where there are no long, steep hillse Smoke is not a usual accompaniment to the normal op- eration of the car. An investigation has developed the fact that the emission of smoke is more often due to the careless operation than the inherent vice of the machine. ‘We have tried to educate motorists to vent them from being objectionable to pedestrians, but there are always a few who are careless of consequences. Our experience is that 10 per cent spoil ‘the game’ for the other 90 per cent, and we have concluded that an ordinance is now necessary to prevent these abuses. “The regulation of the signaling de- vice presents the greatest difficulties. There has been some talk of permitting only bulb or reed horns to be used. We think this would be a mistake. In the downtown districts the noises of the street cars and other traffic drown the sound of suth a horn at times when an alarm is most necessary. Want Sharp Harsh Horns. ‘The short, harsh blast is much motre effective as a signal of alarm and is the most desirable, from the standpoint of doing away with unnecessary noise. Where a bulb horn is used, there is a tendency to blow it frequently at short intervals, in order to make sure that it is heard. One short blast from the harsh noted horn, however, is usually all that is negessary. It’s use, therefore, mini- mizges not only the number of sounds but also the risk of injury to pedes- trians. “There is a class of horns that are sO Operated that when they are once started they cannot be stopped until they have emitted a long, strident shriek. These are the most objectionable and in the proposed ordinance are absolutely prohibited. “On country roads it is frequently nec- essary and desirable to sound a long, loud, harsh «note, and the ordinance should, therefore, not prohibit the use of horns that are capable of doing this when necessary. There are horns which will give a short, sharp blast, or a long one, according to the manner in which they are operated. Dr. Fletcher’s bi!) permits the use of these horns, and ab- solutely prohibits the unnecessary of alarms or signaling devices of kind in the city. CLUB LOG BOOK TO COVER MISSOURI A representative of the publishing company which has contracted to com- pile information of tours in Missouri and adjoining points of interest gor the tour book of the Automobile Club of St. Louis is in the city busily engaged on the work. The tour book is to contain odometer readings and other information of every road in the State of Missouri over which an automobile can be driven. Routes connecting the county seats, short routes connecting the trunk lines and routes to points of interest will be given much attention and careful consideration. Motor cyclists started out last Friday to make a guide for the.State highway. More motor cyclists will be started out within the next few weeks. The tour book will be published in March. AMONG MOTOR CYCLISTS: The highways leading to House Springs and Ellisville are reported. ty be in very riding condition, except a few short stretches in low, wet places that can be passed through with little inconvenience. House Springs will be taken in by the following motorcycle riders on Sunday: Harry Collins, W. J. Williams, Clem Ferguson, Richard Hurck, Carl Bran- denberg. The Ellisville rua is planned by B. M.

STUDEBAKER T TO TAKE NOTES FOR AUTOS FORD GETS CUP OVER PROTEST OF FLANDERS Chairman* Schimpf of the Contest Board of the American Automobilé As- sociation, Saturday officially notified Secretary R. E. Lee of the St. Louis Automobile Manufacturers and Dealers Association of settlement of the protest made by the Ford and Flanders cars in the inter-city run to Kansas City, Aug. 14, 1911. The Ford roadster, Bagley driv- ing, gets the award and the trophy. The award was first made to the Ford car which came in from the run with a ment made in motor circles for some time is that of the Studebaker corpora- tion that from now on it and its agents will sell automobiles ‘‘on time’’—that it will accept notes from farmers and other responsible buyers for the pur- chase price of E. M. F. and Flanders “29” cars. The bigness of this company and its enormous output makes this announce- ment of peculiar significance. Hereto- fore, automobiles -have been sold for Possibly the most striking announce-,

cash. Credit was not thought of, and the man who had not the money but felt the irresistible yearning for a car, went out and mortgaged his house or borrowed the money from the bank. Whether this step of the Studebakers will start others to selling on credit is “yet to be seen. The argument used is that farmers in particular and business men in general are accustomed to buy- ing on credit. and that such a privilege wil lead -to the sale of many hundreds of machines pm than at present. 6 The Post-Dispatch is the only ‘evening

perfect technical and road score in the roadster class. This award was pro-! tesfed by B. W. Scott who drove the Flanders 20 in the same class. The ref- eree, W. M. P. Stevens of Kansas City, disqualified the Ford car and made the award to the Flanders car on the show- ing. This disqualification and protest were appealed from py W. C. Anderson, man- ager of the Ford branch in St, Louis, who maintained that the Ford car in every respect was a stock car. This appeal was laid before the Contest Board of the Amefican Automobile As- sociation, decision on it being delayed by the untimely death of Chairman S. M. Butler of; that board. The decision of the committee now is that the appeal is allowed .on_ the grounds that any protest as to the stock status of the Ford car should have been filed prior to the start of the contest, in accordance with the provisions of the contest rules. The award of the cup to the Ford driv- er is to be made by President Frank R. Tate of the St. Louis Automobile Manu- facturers’ and Dealers’ Association at the annual banquet of the association which is to be held Saturday night, Dec. 9, at the Jefferson Hotel.

The Plain Truth Is This Rupture—as explained in our free book —can’t be relieved or cured—cant even kept from growing worse—unless con- stantiy held in place. Just as a broken ne can’t “knit”. unless the parts are held securely together. And—just as a bandage or splint is the only way a broken bone can be held right kind of truss is the only thing tn-the world that can keep a rupture from coming out. What a difference it will make when you get that kind of truss. And you can get exactly that kind of trues—without risking a cent of your money. It’s the famous Cluthe Truss or Cluthe Automatic Massager. Far more than a trusse—far more than merely a device for holding the rupture in place. / So different from everything -\se for rupture that it has received 18-éeparate patents Thousands say it 1s as comfortable as their clothing.

~ ALARM OF FRE » and Runs to a Box Two Blocks From Her Home. Unimpeded in her race for a fire alarm box by anything more than a night dress Miss Vivian Turner made fast time from her home at 2764 Tamm ave- nue, early yesterday morning, for two blocks to where a fire alarm box ig lo- cated. She turned in the alarm and then raced back fearing that a fire she had seen destroying the house next door might have spread to her own home. Miss Turner is 17 years old and a musf cian. She was awakened by a bright light shining into the windows of her room and saw the house next door at 2760 Tamm avenue, ablaze. It was the home of Richari Lemoine, a tailor, and Miss Turner supposed that he and his family were in the house. She called her father, Carl Turner, first and then raced for the fire alarm box, then back to wake the Lemoines. By the time she came back the burning house could not be approached by a fireman protected by a rubber coat, much The Lemoine family happened to be away. Lemoine says he left a fire in a heat- ing stove when he went away in the evéning. A defective flue is supposed to have caused the fire. The loss on the building is about $1500. IDENTIFIES MAN AS ROBBER BY HIS BEARD George Harris Is Arrested as One of Pair Who Held Up Arthur Pfeifer. The fact that George Harris, 1226 Cass avenue, gets his sermi-weekly shave late on Saturday nights caused his arrest last night. His four days’ beard gave him such a marked resemblance to one of two highwaymen who robbed Arthur Pfeifer, 4909 North Taylor avenue, Sat- urday night, Nov. 25, that Pfeifer de- clared him the man and he is being held at police headquarters. He was arrested at Tenth street and Washington avenue by Détectives Helm- holt and Agee. i» : On the night of Nov. 25 Pfeifer, who was driving a delivery Wagon belong- ing to the A. Moll Grocer Co., 614-18 Franklin avenue, was stopped at Blair and Cass avenues by ttvo men. One of them ¢climbéd into the wagon and, at a pistol’s point, compelled the driver to give up his day’s collections, about $75. The other stood on the ground and held the team. As Helmholt and Agee were passing the group of men at Tenth and Wash- ington last night they noticed’ 6ne wh¢ answered to the description given by Pfeifer of one of the robbers. It was Harris. . The erowd was taken to headquarters and Pfeifer was sent for. Out of five or six he pickéd Harris, saying he was positive the man was the one who held his horse’s head a week before.

day. He contended that the charges made by the union had been sus- tained by the evidence, which showed, he declared, that 11,000 square yards of thé plastering had been laid in violation of the specifications, Inferior materials he declared, in the substitution of plaster of paris and lime putty, cost- ing $9 a ton, for Keene’s cement, cost- ing $18 a ton. He declared also that a large amount of the fifst coat was put on of concreté bond instead of Acme cement. The attorney declared that the entire plastering job was {n- ferior, and that the contractor was liable to the city, by reason of the fact that no authority was given to echange the materials called for in the specifications, As soof as the attorney for the Gray Construction Co., which subier the plastéring contract to another company, files its answer, the Board will take up the case and pass upon it.

Free Trial Package. The instant relief offered poor over-burdened stomachs by the use of a Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablet should be a reason for constantly keeping a box on hand—at home ‘and at the office as well.

The Stomach Welcomes Quick Relief. . A §Stuart’s Tablet not only aids digesticn but it actually does the digesting itself. In other words it furnishes exactly the same natural elements for the digestion of food as the natural juices of the stomach. ‘The stomach, therefore, igs not called upon to do any of the work except £ to churn the juices furnished by the ~+tablet and then push the digested , food along into the intestines where ‘it willebe still further digested and ‘the strength taken up by the blood to be carried to the muscles and nerves of the body. So by taking a Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablet after a meal you give the stomach the rest it needs in which to mend itself and grow well again. And you absolutely prevent the souring of any feod, the formation of any poisonous gases, belching, foul breath or constipation. ' Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets have done more for humanity and have caused more rejoicing than any other one agency that can be named. Every druggist everywhere sells and personally recommends Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. The price is 50 cents per box. I[f you wish to try them a sample package will be sent you free if you write F. A.

HOTELSMUSTENE | FAIRRATES SAY UREY WOODSON Secretary of National Demo- cratic Committee Interest- ed in St. Louis Getting |—— Convention Makes Sugges- tions to Business Men’s League. | COMMITTEE WILL GIVE ASSURANCES Larger Hotels Have Already Promised Reasonable Rates and Secretary Saunders Says There Will Be No Cause for Complaint. “a ‘‘Bring Both National Conven- tions to St. Louis.”’ Assurance of reasonable hotel rates is demanded by Urey Woodson, secretary of the Democratic National Committee, as a condétion to his support of St. wouis in the @ontest for the national conven- tion of 1912. The Business Men's League commit- tee, which the meetings of the Republican National Committee, Dec. 12, and that of Democratic committee, Jan. 8, will be prepared to give such assurance, ac- cording to Secretary Saunders of the league. In. a letter from Owensboro, Ky., re- ceived by the Post-Dispatch yesterday, Secretary Woodson, who is Democratic committeeman for Kentucky, said: “T am wholly uncommitted to any particular city, but I think I shown in the past my interest in St. Louis. I voted for St. Louis in 1904 in spite of the fact that I had also voted for another Missouri city (Kansas City) in 1900. : “Much will depend upon the proposi- tion that St. Louis makes to the Lemo- cratic National Committee. One of the chief points will be the obligation the hotel organization of the city may be willing to make. We always have the pledge of the hotel organizations that they will not raise rates, but by the time the convention is held we find them insisting upon putting at four men in a room that ordinarily rents for $2, charging them $10 a ant end re- quiring them to keep it five or six days. “The hotel men justify this by “&4y- ing they must fill each room to its capacity, but the hotel man is the sole judge of the capacity of his rooms and insists upon stacking in guests without reference to. their comfort. Thus he makes a $2 room produce $H per day, protesting at the same time he rates. * | “This, I do not believe our commit- tee will stand for again; therefore, in my ‘opinion, the best thing your organization ean do for St. Louis in this * matter is first get the hotel keepers association to sign up a rea- sonable iron-clad obligation in this matter which cannot be violated.” Will Have Positive Agreement, Lyman T. Hay, head -.of the local hotel men’s organization, is on. his way to Panama. Secretary Saun- League

‘said that the matter of hotel rates itive statement

had beén the subject of inquiry by the league in the past week, and that the committees seeking the conven- tions would be. able to make a posi- about it to the na- tional committees. “Replies have been received,” said Saunders, “to letters sent from this office to the large hotels. Each has stated definitely the rate it will charge. In every case these rates are reasonable. I made an especial in- quiry from two of the largest hotels as to the very matter that Mr., Wood- eon speaks of—how many men would be put in a room, and how much they would expect to get out of what is ordinarily a single room. “Tl was told that a room ordinarily renting to one person,for $5 a day would be expected to yield not more than $7.50, or $3.75 each for two oc- cupants. If a man .wanted it for himself, he would have to pay $7.50. “That struck me as_ reasonable. Two in a room is the usual rule in convention time, and the hotels caa- not be expected, to accommodate two men for the price of one. “Other hotels have stated exactly what they will. charge in convention time. The Términal states that its maximum for a single room with bath will be $2.50, for a double room with bath $3. The St. James says its rates will be $1 for a room without bath, and $1.50 with bath. The Stratford makes the same rate, with a maximum of $2 for room with bath, and the .Hamilton says single rooms will be $1.50, and that when more thanNone ‘is in a roem, each will pay $1. The Buckinghat™ says its rooms will be $2.50 to $6, with $1 extra for a room occupied by more than one. Rates Will Not Cause Complaint. “Those rates are not of the sort that will cause complaint. There has been complaint, generally well founded, at most national conventions, about hotel rates. Generally thfs is due to the fact that latge contributions to convention funds are expected from the hotels, which naturally feel that they must get the money, back. ‘The national committees have grown rather ‘skeptical about promises in this line, and I don’t know that an ‘iron- clad agreement’ of the sort Mr. Wood. son suggests is feasible. But I believe we can convince the national committees that they will be fairly treated here. “Although St. Louls had the World's Fair on its hands at the time of ths Inst national convention here, there Was less complaint about rates than there has been in most cities. We have three hew big hotels since then. I know one | thing—St. Louis hotel men have simply ‘ x oe - mo De m. . 3 $ he. g + ie et { ? at S ! RT qmaMihae dl yO BARE SS ON,

St. Louis was received by the Post-Dispatch yes- terday from T. Albert Jennings, Demo- cratic committeeman for Florida. In a telegram from Pensacola, in reply to a Bert Dispatch telggram of inquiry, he sa PENSACOLA, Fla., Dec. 2.

Louis A. Cella Projects a Structure at Sixth and Mar- ket Streets Which Will Be a Counterpart of American Hotel Building. ‘The more important transactions in realty during the week were confined to the business sections of the city, em- bracing leases and sales involving com- mercial changes. Changes in the retail sections of the city, and the announce- ment of important building plans, in- cluding the improvement of the north- | west corner of Sixth and Market streets, were the conspicuous developments. As the feature of the week, the T. J. Reid Shoe Co. acquired yesterday a 1- year lease of the five-story building at 709-11 Washington avenue. The Washington avenue building has _a frontage of 45 feet by a depth extend- ing to Lucas avenue, while that of the present building of the shoe company at 411-15 North Broadway, has a frontage of only 25 feet, the lease being note- worthy as furnishing concrete proof of the commercial. growth of the city. The rental provided for in the lease was ndt disclosed,-.but it is understood thet it is based on the market value of te y property, which, without the im- provements is rated at $9000 a front foot.

Trend to Washineton Avenue. The Reid Shoe Co. is following in the wake of a number of other im- portant retail concerns, including the Brandt Shoe Co., which have forsaken Washington avenue, whose pre-eminence as a shopping center is apparently assured. With- in the last two'or three years the financial and commercial interests of the city have tightened their grip on Broadway, which obviously is des- tined to be transformed with build- ings for pancy of this character. The Reid Shoe Co. will occupy its new quarters on or about Dec. 27, when the remodeling and altering of the Washington avenue building to conform with their requirements has been completed. The presumption is that B. Nugent & Bros. will continue to hold sway 4t Broadway and Washington’ avenue. The commanding position of their building, with its triple frontage on Washington avenue, Broadway and St. Charles street, gives it advan- tages and prominence which make them formidable competitors in the retail center of the city, while its w relation with the Eads Bridge givei them precedence with a large volume of trade forthcoming from Bast St. Loui Cella to Build at Sixth and Market. Announcement was made by Louis A Cella yesterday that the improvement of the northwest corner of Sixth and Market streets, where he owns a quar- ter of a block, will be given considera- tion upon the completion of th. Grand Opera. House on Market street, which is now being rema@eled by him at a cost of $150,000. The Market street corner, embracing a quarter of a block, Cella stated, was originally acquired by him as a site fer an annex to the American Hotel, a 12-story structure comprising a theater, occupying a quarter block at the northeast corner of Seventh and Market streets. The proposed structure, if erected, Cella stated, would be a twin structiire to the American. Otherwise at office or a commercial building will be bu.lt) on the site.

Says She Was Helpless. “All I know is that she looked like a good, kind woman,” Mrs. Jesse told a Post-Dispatch reporter, while her tears fell on the head of Michael, whom she held in her arms. “Tl @did not ask her name and ad- dress, for I did not want to know them. I feared that I might get sorry for what I had done, and try to get my baby.back. It is better that’ I do not know where he is. I cannot interfere with him. “It was just a case of sacrificing one for three. With only Michael, who is old enough to be left at home, I can get work that will keep us. With Frank I was helpless, and we all would have starved.” Frank Jesse, the father, was killed last July in the Compton avenue railroad yards when he was struck with a shovel in a quarrel with an- other laborer. He left a little sav- ings account, which kept the widow and Michael until baby Frank tamé two months ago. Before Frank came Mrs. Jesse worked, but with the. baby to care for she could not work, and for the last few weeks neighbors had contributed to the family’s support.

DEDRIKSON DIVORCE MOTION IS DENIED Hiusband’s Application to Annul Decree Refused by Court; Appeal Is Made. Judge Shields yesterday declined to set aside the decree of divorce he granted to Mrs. Amanda Didrikson of 4217 Fair avenue on Nov. 27. Her former husband, Emil Dedrikson, in a motion asking that thé divorce be set aside, said he would have _ ap- peared in court to resist the suit, but Mrs. Dedrikson had told him she did not want any of his money, and he permitted the case to go by default. She got judgment for $30 a month alimony for the support of herself and child in the decree. In foverruling the motion Judge Shields said the defendant should not have speculated on the outcome of tife case if he had a defense, and then, if not satisfied with the result, ask that the Court annul] the decision. Didrikson’s lawyer gave notice of appeal. ;

The herd was found on the. Island of Guadalupe, in the Pacific Ocean, 600 miles south of ~ Francisco ‘and 240 miles west of San Quintin, Lower California. The widespread interest is due to the fact that A thls strange Yeast, a combination of sea and land __snimals, ‘was supposed to have become extinct a ey of a century ago. Prof. H. N. Moseley, ‘ie ‘notes of his, historic voyage around the “4 in H. M, 8. “Challenger,” in 1872, states phe. he found the last remnants of the species dead Island, southwest of Australia; and ue hey were being rapidly exterminated by for their blubber. ‘Herd island is 13,500 miles from the Island of Giiadalupe, and scientists dre wondering whether the sea elephants, flying before their slayers, were able to travel this vast distance n @ est of safety. li is true that a small, species ‘elephant, now believed extinct, was> “form: - ) erly ‘found in the vicinity of Lower California. ~ But ‘the great bulk of the animals now discovered proves that they belong to the species of the Indian Ocean rather than that of the Gulf of ‘alifornia. One inc vidual killed by members i the expedition was 20 feet long, with a prob- ‘sclg 15 inches in length. The sea elephant has been classed in the fam- ly of seals, but it displays extraordinary va- riations from that type.. The most striging, and the one for. which it is nanied,.is its well-de- ‘veléped trunk. In the color of its muscles, which are red like those of land animals, the sea elephant differs from the seal; whose flesh is black... Sea elephants, like whales and por- > poiges, have a thick layer of blubber covering ed _ thetr: bodies, while in seals there is only a smal! yet fat attached to the skin. The fur San* we — * poeste v a ¢ “ ® - af + fh ihe. \ - 4 og of the seal is one of the most valuable in com- merce, while that of the sea elephant is worth- less. The formidable character of thie beasts, one of which sometimes weighs a ton, is shown by the following extracts from Prof. Moseléy’s jour- nal: ‘j|. ° “Lieut. Channef, who had been shooting’ with me, went up to the big male sea elephant and began hammering him cn the ncse With a stick ‘heavily loaded with lead, but without any effect beyond enraging the beast to the utmost. The animal was not stunned by the blows, because the skull of the sea elephant is} protected above by a high intermuscular ridge or crest, and the bones around the nostrils are very strong. In these points the sea elephant is different from the fur seal, “The beast raised itself on its fore-flippers and at the same time twisted up its tail in the air. The trunk became inflated and erect, the animal blowing it full of air. The beast raised its head and opened its huge mouth to the wid- est, showing formidable teeth and a capacious gullet, from which issued a loud and angry roar, consisting of a series of quickly succeeding deep gutteral explosions. \He bit savagely gt a stick and twisted it out of our hands, If the beast had got hold of Channer he would have bitten a limb to pieces at one crunch. “The bulls fight greatly during the breeding son. As the animal crawls on the land its body trembles like a great bag of jelly; owing to the ‘mass of blubber with. which the whole ’ animal! is invested, and which is. as thick as it is in a whale. Only the nose of the male has the proboscis, which is one foot long in an in- dividual of 17 feet.” How the herd on the Island of Guadalupe was discovered is related for the Sunday Post-Dis- patch Magazine readers by Pingree I.

Although near civilization, this region ‘is out visited perhaps once in a generation. of the trade routes, is practically unexplored, and is I was a member of an expedition some years ago to Tiborun Island, on which we found cannibals. the booming surf on the shore of Guadalupe Island. I was standing in the bow, and was as tonished to see a huge, dark, moving Mass on the sand. I called to Lieut. Stanley, who had an army rifle, and pointed out the unexpected object. He commanged the men ‘to cease rowing. “I don’t know what it is, but I’m going to shoot it anyway,” said Stanley. He fired; the big creature sprang-from the sand, dropped, and scuffled desperately towards the water. “Stanley emptied the magazine of his rifle into the, body, and the brute fell dead with its head in the surf. What was our astonishment at discovering that our prey was a great bull sea elephant, 20 feet long, four feet thick, and weighing probably 2000 pounds!

Most of its leaders had been sent to the penitentiary, and its political vrotector, after failing to re-elec- eee.

ti0u as a member of the House of Delegates, had died. Bat Deveine had rallied the remnants of the band and made himself its leader. . He was found dead at 822 North Twenty-second street, with a bullet hole through the back of his head. Altheugh several members of the’ “Nixie” sang were arrested and questioned, the murder remained a mystery. All the police could dis- cover was that two men had been seen running from the scene a moment after the shot was fired, and that a revolver, with one exploded shell, was found nearby. | Those who remembered the series of homicides in the “Egan’s Rats” gang in 1909 were not sur- prised when Deveine's murder was closely fol- lowed by a second. Two weeks after Deveine’s death, Charles von der Ahe, also @ member of the “Nixie Fighters,” was murdered in a saloon at Twenty-first street and Lucas avenue. During the hour. df consciousness which ge- mained before he died, Von der Ahe was entreated te disclose the name of his murderer, but refused. The police were convinced that there was a close connection between the first murder and the sec- ond. Was Von der Ahe implicated in the destruction. of his leader, and did he pay ‘the penalty with his own life? To neither of these questions would the dying Man reply. He took with him to the gave the secret of his assassin’s ideutity and motive. Several members of the band were arrested, and Capt. Schoppe of the Police Department asked the Coroner to hasten the inquest to prevent the gahgesteré from “framing up” a false account of the tragedy. So closely was the policy of silence followed that little concerning the murder could be learned, save that Von der Ahe, falling, cried: “Oh, Doc, you shot me!” Who “Doc” was fhe au- thorities were unable to discover: Mike Moynihan, bartender in the saloon, was arrested, but maintained that ue had no suspicion as to who shot Von der Ahe. “f didn’t even know he was in Moynihan asserted.

They are nearly all young men, born in Amer- ica. To find the germ of the gang, one must gc, back to the sidewalks and vacant lots of the North End, some twelve or fourteen years ago. Not longer ago, for some of the members, -voteis though they may be in fact, are under legal age and are but a few years beyond the Juvenile Court’s purview. They were then boys who, chased by a-.police- man for the chance smashing of a window by a baseball, or dfiven by a policeman from the grass of a little square where they were trying to fly their kites, grew to believe all policemen their enemies. The first of the number arrested and taken to police court became to his cémrades a hero, whose glory dimmed that of the stars of baseball or of pugilism. For him and his comrades, it be- came a dream, a resolve, to “do up” a policeman some day. Many of the boys, growing up and itiainimes the viewpoint of orderly society, forgot this youthful vow. A few did not forget. A few never forgave so- ciety and the law for the restraint imposed- upon their boyish pleasures. A few progressed from roistering to robbery and murder. Tony Foley, for instance, who was one’ of the “Bottoms Gang,” had at first an ambition to thrash policemen, and, attempting the feat with his hands, usually suffered a drubbing from the bluecoat’s club. Foley finally armed himself with a revolver, and it was not long before he had fired it at one of his patrolmen enemies. The result. was a penitentiary sentence of five years after

A schoolboy who tells the teacher which of his comrades drew a caricature of the pedagogue on the blackboard, or which of them put a tack in the teachér’s chair, is at once sent to Coventry. This youthful hatred of the “snitch” was ac- centuated when the boys, growing up, associated themselves into a gang. It was no longer the ques- tion of a caning with the teacher’s birch. The law had taken, the place of the pedagogue, and the law’s punishmients were the penitentiary ard even the gallows. Just as the boy in school who, beaten by one of his fellows, became a hero by refusing to tell the name of his assailant and deliver him over to punishment, so, the dying gangster, even though shot from ambush, held it a sort of point of honor to pass out of life with his lips sealed. * ‘‘The Dead One Doesn’t Count.’’. | Among other members of the gang, the rule usually was ‘Stick by the live one; the dead one doesn’t count.” In consequence, there would le« no interest in surrendering the murderer to the police. If any member of the gang felt that he had been privately wronged by the murder, be was at liberty to revenge it if he wished; confident of immunity unless some other member, in turn continued the bloody chain by Willing him. Thus these organizations exist as a lawless can- cer on the civic body. As in the case of the “Bot- toms Gang,” the police believed that their surgery had completely removed the disease.

One police captain after another at- tempted for a considerable period to deal witi the “Bottoms Gang.” During the perioi of tre warfare between the police-.and the band there were frequent fights between champions on both sides near Jefferson avenue and Olive street. Frank Hussey fought and was arrested more than difty times. There were several murders within the gang itself, and the murderers, shielded by the “mum” ethics, went free, to the rage of the police. The gang attacked Politeman Stapleton and wrested from him his club and revolver. Foley, with the patrolman’s own pistol, fired several shots at him. The gang’s code saved all but Foley, whom the policeman positively identified. He received a penitentiary sentence, but was freed on bond pending’an appealsto the Supreme Court. In this interval he had scope for other ex- ploits. He was rearrested when another police- man was shot in a ‘social” Club, the Olive street hayen of Foley and his friends. He and others were arrested for wrecking a restaurant on Highth stiesi, and for ‘entering another res- tauant on Jefferson avenue and striking a cus- tomer on the head with an iron bar. Then it was that the police declared war, and sent Foley with half a dozen of his most spirited lieutenants to the penitentiary. While the “Bottoms Gang” has figured more frequently upon the police blotters, it achieve the deadly reputation won by another gang, called “Egan's Rats,” which infestéd Broad- way near Biddle street. They, too, weré,believed to have political support, and the series of crimes with which they horrified the city in 1909 was an earnest of what may come again in the future, whenever the “institution of the “gang” is per- mitted to obtain a foothold. The first to fall was Samuel Young, a constable and a political, power in Democratic politics in North St. Louis. When tfe and companions knocked at the door of. Fred (Yellow Kid) Mohrle’s home one Sunday afternodn, Mohrle re- plied with a-bullet which killed Young almost in- stantly. Mohrle declared that Young had threat- ened to kill him because he had changed froni the Democratic to’the Republican party.

Un.il the ’80’s, according to Dr. Kunz, the vari- ous circumstances which combined to’ keep the opal under certain cloud of disfavor included the rarity and costliness of the gem.

More opals were found in one year ’ ‘than in ten years previously, and great quantities - of beautiful gems were sent to the markets at one-half, one-fourth and even as low as one-tenth of previous valuations.

Then the onal was missed, but it turned up later at the place where the accident had occurred. In the meantime, the Luxton’s valuable setter dog died. ‘That same night a thief broke into the chicken house and stole ten of the prize brown leghorns. Next morning Mr. Luxton started with the opal for Milwaukee, where his wife was visit- ing. He missed his train. While waiting for the next he bought a newspaper, and gave the news- boy a $5 gold piece by mistake. While he was gettimg his railway ticket, somebody carried off his suitcase and overcoat again by mistake, but the property had to be recovered through the po- lice court, and delayed his departure for Milwau- kee twenty-four hours. He started to put the ting in a safe deposit: vault, when he heard his house. had been serious!y damaged by fire. An hour later his gold watch was stolen. Sir Walter Scott could not miss the opportunity afforded by the opal to give a tragic cast to fictitious romance, gnd it served this purpose in his “Anne of Geierstein.”” This is supposed to mark the beginning of the “hoodoo” tradition. The only place in the United States where really Nne and precious opals have been found is in the State of Washington, near the Idaho line. Most of the American opals come fom Mexico, a few also from Honduras. It is in Mexico also that the dealers have aeveloped 2

OPALS NOW SAID TO BE LUCKY cheap process: of heightening the color of pale opals by heating them to a crackle and then im- mersing them in liquid dye. These imitations are superficially plausible, but worthless, and soon break up. The genuine rare and precious “black” opal of- New South Wales, which has eclipsed even the finest types or “noble,” “flame” and “harle- quin” that Europe could supply, and brought the gem back into fashionable favor, is of the kind always cherished as a porte-fonheur by true gem-lovers, such as the late Henry. Ward Beecher, for whom beauty was at once a virtue and a charm against superstition. The late Queen Victoria, whose golden half- century reign is the historic example of con- tinuous good fortune, was noted for her fond- ness for opals, and always gave them to her daughters as wedding presents. “Queen Elizabeth always wore opals,’ she used to say, “and I have always worn .them, and we have always found them lucky stones.” A famous set of opals belonging to the Em- press Josephin& and which included one called the “Burning of Troy,” retained their color and perfection for a century, and were eventually dispersed here in the United States.

[f there is any expense attached we will try te arrange nominal rates: Every form of ailment will be taken up by our staff of women physicians. Diseases of the shin will have a special department. There will be specialists on diseases of the nose, tne throat, the eye, the ear. Women denti8ts will give their at- tention to the care of the teeth and mouth. Moth- ers will be taught the care of their children. In- fant feeding will be one of our specialties. In addition to this advice, we shall have reme- dies—standard preparations—all of them recog- nized physicians’ prescripticis—for every blem- ish.

Railroad Wouldn’t Come to Them, So They Are Using the ; 08 +69 eer reset rite ji soees eee ee Phe Seed Feitis sree 7 find ais ail ‘*

Leisure of the Holi- ‘day Season in Preparing to Go to the Railroad, Which Is to be Built Through the “Short Grass Country”. WO county-seat towns in Southwestern Kansas will . be moved bodily for miles across the prairie to new locations on a railroad that igs to be built this winter. Two courthouses, two jails, two hotels, the churches, store buildings and dwellings ip the two towns of Santa Fe and Hugoton will be put on wheels and “snaked” over the level plain for distances of six and nine miles respectively. Two other county-seat towns, Ulysses and Richfield, may not be moved in their “ entirety, because they would have longer distances to go, and one of them has a stone courthouse that could not be moved, but it is believed that the towns to be built on the new railroad, upwards of 25 miles away, will ‘eave them practically depopulated and that many of the frame build- ings in each of them will be hauled to the rail- road. The stockholders of the Santa Fe Railroad, in annual meeting in Topeka, last month, increased the capital stock by several] million dollars. The greater part of this money is to be used in building a “cutoff’ 157 miles plumb line over the level prairie through the “short grass” district of Southwest Kansas to Colman, N. M., where it will join the main line again: This cutoff will eliminate the “big loop” that curves north, west and south over the difficult Raton Mountains in Colorado. It will save 100 miles and four hours in time to transcontinental trains. But the }Wew road, traversing four of the five now railroadless counties of Kansas, will not touch a town or village in all its length. Going in a straight line over the prairies, level as a table top, the road wil] be no nearer than six miles to any of the four county seat towns. In those towns is gloom and disappointment and, since ' the railroad will not come to them, they are pre- paring to go to the railroad. It seems like a freak of fate that the new rail- road is to pass through the spot where’ once stood the town of Woodsdale, nine miles from Hugoton, the county seat of Stevens County. Six men were killed in the county seat fight between Hugoton and Woodsdale. That was 20 years ago. Hugoton won the fight and has grown to be a@ considerable town, with a courthouse, a church, a bank, a newspaper and a street full of stores. Woodsdale, nine miles to the north, dwindled to one house, with a triangle of shanty outhouses. Unpainted, weather-beaten and gray, the little group of buildings waited for 20 years out upon the lonely prairie, while its rival to the south prospered and swelled with pride. But now the waiting of Woodsdale Postoffice i; nearly over. The new railroad has been sur- veyed and will pass within a few rods of the back end of the Woodsdale cow shed and the railrocd company has bought the land and lo- cated a townsite there with the only depot in Stevens County. This means death to Hugoton because Woodsdale will be the only railroad town in the county, and the farmers of the county will drive there with their produce and for their supplies. | Already the people of Hugoton realize that, and they are buying lots in Woodsdale and get-

prairies think nothing of mov- ing houses as far as 50 miles. which in this soil and climate reaches a fuller growth and a better quality than any- where else. The crops of brogm corn are hauled as far as 100 miles over sandy roads to the. railroad. The. principal market for broom corn iz the town of Libera] on the Rock Island Rail- road. To that town come wagons from all the short-grass country that is to be opened by the new railroad. Often the farmers cannot make the trip to market with their broom corn in one day and they camp all night on the way. The major- ity of the brooms used in St. Louis and the . Southwest are made from broom corn grown on this semi-arid plateau. | Throughout the four counties are many sod houses, ‘soddies” they are called, and many dug- outs in which the farmers live. A soddie fs built by plowing up the primeval sod of the prairie and cutting it into squares like bricks and lay- ing them up as a brick wall is laid. The roof is of sod laid upon poles. A house of sod is

warm in winter and cool in summer and the — roof is water tight if properly built. A dugout is — made by digging a cellar five or six feet deep into he earth and roofing it over witn sods.

The people of the Western Kansas prairies think nothing of moving houses as far as 50 miles. The town of Wallace, whicn naa 5000 popula- tion, and several streets of houses and stores, 20 years ago, is almost depopulated now. Its houses were moved in all directions, even so far as 60 miles over the flat prairie. One of the chief factors in inducing the four county seat towns to move to the railroad will be to avoid the time and expense of hauling in supplies. Some of these towns are 50 miles from a railroad and nearly everything used there is freighted in from the railroad. It costs $6 a ton to haul coal to Hugoton and Ulysses, and those who use it for fuel pay $12 and $14 a ton for it. -Cattle chips are a staple fuel in these towns. They are picked up on the prairie and gathered in wheelbarrows and wagons. Ice is $1.50 a hundred pounds in Ulysses. It is packed in straw and hauled 28 miles. Lum- ber costs $4 and $6 more a thousand feet in these inland towns than on the railway. Vegetables and fruit are not grown in the semi- arid plateau of the short-grass country, which is 3000 feet above the sea. They have to be hauled in, too. Along the line of the new railroad, in the four counties, the officials of the Santa Fe have hought 234,000 acres of land at an average price of $7 an acre. They expect to sell it at an average of $20 an acre when the road is put through. The building of the cutoff will leave only one county in Kansas that will be without a railroad. That will be Stanton County, with a population of 1034. The four counties of Morton, Grezt, Stevens and Haskell, that are to be traversed by the new road, have a combined population, according to the last census, of 5866. In those four counties the only towns are the county seats that are to be moved to the railroad. In these counties the principal crop is broom The houses are few and far between. In these counties the children ride on horseback to school, often going as far as ten miles. Throughout the four counties are hundreds of boys and girls, some of them almost fully grown, who have never seen a railroad train or even heard the whistle of a locomotive. There are hundreds of boys and girls who never tasted a strawberry, an apple, a pear or a peach. Those fruits do not grow in Southwestern Kansas because of the dry air, and the high winds. A vegetable is seen only on the tables of the more prosperous farmers, and they are hauled in from. the railroad. The ordinary meal in a soddie will consist of griddle cakes made of ground kaf- fir corn, which grows at its best on this pla- teau, fried pork and occasionally corn or wheat bread. It may readily be seen from this that the people of this sparsely settled country are looking with great hope to the coming of a railroad. It will - make life easier for them and bring them more of the comforts of life, and put them in touch with the great throbbing world that now they only read about. They realize that the railway that will cut a straight line through this large section will be the main life artery of the whole district, and they are eager to have their homes and their towns along it. It is said tnat Miss Christabel Pankhurst took up the cause of woman suffrage because she was not allowed to practice law, although she had passed successfully all the examinations. She has proved so successful as a leader in the sul frage movement that she would no doubt have made an excellent lawyer. :

The contrivance is so small it is capable of con- cealment in ways that laugh at detection, and with its aid even a dullard can make the achievements of Sherlock Holmes or Lupin, the pattern from which he was drawn, look insignificant. For Lu- pin and Holmes had to reach their conclusions by deduction, wherein there was the possibility of error. The dictograph gives results direct. But the dictograph cannot be described by com- parison with any human t:ait or quality, for its powers seem superhuman. Every uttered word, even when spoken in a whisper by one within range of its transmitter, is carried infallibly to whosoever may be at the other end of the wire leading from it.

Its adaptability to scien- tific study has been recognized by the volcanolo- gist and seismic expert, Prof. Frank Perret; who _ predicted the Messina earthquake to the day. Mr. Turner is now hard at work trying to have the machine register the sound of the heartbeat, This sound is peculiar, inasmuch as it does not lend itself to transmission. The idea is, of course, that in a clinical operation the operating sur- geon and all the medical] students viewing the operation, by having connected ear pieces at- tached to the transmitter, can hear the beat of the patient’s heart, and thereby know his actual condition at every stage of his ordeal. But the experiments thus far have not been satisfactory. The mass of flesh between the heart and skin is not sensitive enough of vibration to carry the scund to the willing ears of the dictograph. The dictograph has been famous so far only as a detective. Its use in the boodle eases in Co- lumbus and Indiana by Detective Burns first brought the attention of the world at large to the fact there was such a machine. » Revealed Directors’ Plot. “ar. Turner told with a laugh the experience he had with the first machine sold for secret eaves- dropping. He said that he was sitting in his of- fice one day, when a man came in and, lodking ali around to make sure there was no one to over- hear him, asked in a hoarse whisper: “Do you make an instrument that enables one to overhear what is said in another room?” “Yes,” answered Mr. Turner, “but you needn't whisper. Listen.” Connecting an associate in another room with the machine attached to his desk, Mr. Turner walked to the farthest corner of the room and spoke in a whisper. Quick as a flash came the answer from the man in the other room. The investigator was immediately convinced. He was an officer of a big corporation, he said, a corporation whose principals think only in millions and can count up to a hundred of them before they reach the limit of their capitalization. There was some dissension among the directors, some of whom were conspiring to drive out of the company those whose business morals were undesirable. The inquirer was one of the latter. He said he wanted to hear i. opponents while they were actually conspiring. Could it be done? It probably could be done. Mr. Turner said, but first he had to look over . sround.

There was not a stick of furniture in the room except the big table in the center and the chairs arranged around it. Apparently there was not a spot in sight where the little transmitter, about 214 inches in diameter and less {han an inch in thickness, could be con- cealed. The ceiling was searched, and the problem was solved. Over the table hung a big chandelier. At the bottom of its stem was a hollow brass ball from which the arms of tne chandelier proti uded. The ball was merely for ornamental purposes. Its possible usefulness had never been discovered by its maker or by its purchaser, else it had never been made or bought. Mr. Turner’s eye caught it at once. “Can that ball be opened? he asked. “It certainly can,” said the seeker after truth. “And you can go as far as you like, only get it in quick.” It was easy to open the ball, hang the traasmit- ter in its hollow center, close it up, run the wires up through the pipe, then between the joists int» the room above, where the ear piece was placed in the bottom drawer of the man’s desk.

It is a stand with two inkwells, and the dictagraph serves as a pen rack, the whole being built in unison with the heavy mahogany of the office furnishings.

for several months. Then one day he hajpcied to be down in the Wall street district of New York taking lunch with one of the directors of his company, a lawyer now dead. They were discussing the dictograph and its possible uses, and Mr. Turner told the la vrer the foregoing story. The lawyer opened his mo'ur in amazement, and when he finally got back his voice, he remarked, “So that’s where he got his information, is it?” Then he told how the truth-seeker in the case had been his client in a row among the directors of the company, and the client had been able to win his case because he was able, with such won- derful prescience, to tel] exactly what the opposi- tion had in mind, and what they and their law- yers had proposed to do from day to day, 8o that he was always prepared for every development in the case. “And to think,” he added, “that even though a director in the company, I never suspected he was using our instrument on the other fellows.” “And since then,” said Mr. Turner, “I don’t mention names of customers to anyone.” Another lawyer in the New York financial dis- New York Stock Exchange quotations and, it was alleged, installed a dictograph in the wall, on which was a repeater on a private wire running from the office of a New ‘York broker to San Francisco. It was no trick at all for telegraph operators in the wire-tapping -broker’s office to copy every quotation and message that passed over the private wire. He not only got the use of the quotations himself, but built up a nice little busi- ness by retailing them to other brokers, was the allegation. “Yes,” said Mr. Turner, “it’s a great thing, and as people begin to realize the multiplicity of its uses, it is bound to be found everywhere. It is made in two forms. While the detective instru- ment has received the most publicity, that is really a small feature of the usefulness of the device. Its commercial usefulness is endless. I will illus- trate. Ringing up a stenographer in an Office three rooms away, he waiked to the corner of the room, turned his back to the instrument and began to dictate in a voice lower than the ordinary con- versational tone. He dictated a letter and then asked the young lady to read it off. She repeated

tor PERRET heart JO VOL meade 1¢ word for word, and her voice emerging trom the receiving side of the box had a most uncanny sound. Then he put the dictograph to a further test. Dropping his voice to a whisper and not the sibi- lant, far-reaching whisper of the stage, either, he counted up to five. Right after him the stenogra- pher counted up to five. To further test the powers Of the machine, the reporter stood with his back against it. fhe re- porter is rather thick, physically of course, but with the transmitter pressed closely to his gen- erous waist line, it would seem as though the ears of the machine would be stopped. Alas no, Mr. Turner talked some more, and again the voice called right back everything he had said. That was to prove that even if the dictograph was hid- den under a rug on the floor, behind the safe, concealed under a sofa, as in the Columbus case; made into the ornamental face of a clock or even covered over by the laths and plaster, of the wall, it would do its work.

Gens ae RAN A ERE ME A ee New Kind of ‘‘Conference.’’ As a further demonstration of the commercial usefulness of the machine, Mr. Turner then rung in anotlier employe of tne company, further away than the stenographer. There ensued a three- cornered conversation in which each of the three was able to participate as readily as though all three were in one room. “The advantage of that is likewise obvious,” said Mr. Turner, when the-connections had been rung off. “Take the head of a big business enter- prise which is spread over a dozen floors of a building. Th head of the concern wants to talk to various department managers at ti 2 same time. The old method has always been to summon the department managers to the office of the manager. It took time to call each of these men separately. Then, perhaps, during the conference, one or more would have to delay matters to send back to their desks for papers or memoranda bearing »on. the subject under discussion, and the confer- 46 would take up an hour, fully half of which was wasted. With the .ictograph each man re- emains at his desk, the manager rings them on and the conference is immediately under way. “Of course, you heard everything that was said in our little conversation here a moment a¢o, but I could have cut you out. All that would bave been necessary would have been for me to take

+e “SEA GIRLS” OF JAPAN ed HEADS OF FAMILIES 1000 YEARS Ae By MOVK JOYA, Japanese Reporter. LONG the sunny ‘coast of Japan, washed by A the Pacific, there is a colony where wom- en are the heads and supporters of fam- ilies, while men abide by the order of women. It is in the district of Shima, where the colony of Sea Girls is locatea. “Sea Girls” they are called, as the occupation of the women is diving into the rough, agitated sea for pearls and other gems of the deep ocean. And it is different from other suffragette col- onies, as the women not only are heads of fami- lies, but work and labor, while the male popula- tion are practically idle. The colony, the unique and interesting village, is not new. The Sea Girls have been swimming in the Bay of Shima and taking the responsibility of supporting large fami- lies for over ten centuries. The Sea Girls are healthy, strong and bronzed women, and their work is most strenuous. They stay in water from eight to twelve hours a day, and even in the coldest winter they manage to remain in the water two or three hours a day. They are born divers and skillful swimmers. At each dive they remain under water from one to two minutes. But their task does not end there, and they do all cooking, cleaning, sweeping and marketing for their families, and the male members of the fam- ily do nothing except occasional helps to the women. Women are the power in the village. When a girl baby is born the parents and relatives cele- brate and feast, but when their baby is a boy they just grin and mourn the misfortune. When girls are 4 or 5 yeais oid they wic taught to swim and dive. By the time they reach the \ age of 13 or 14 they are Sea Girls, and remain 40 ™ until they aré about 40 years old. But they db not leave the diving at that age on account of ~ old age or weakness. But generally when they 55 are about 40 years old there are enough canto kA to be taken care of, and this task/falis upon the hands of grandmas. | @ rf Thus women work, labor and souiiniel their tami: “i lies until the end of their lives, and men renal : as only assistants to their wives, mothers wd daughters through their entire lives. i Among young Sea Girls the best divers surcentt} in getting husbands of good family and f | ie and the skill of young girls as divers is more im-* portant than the personal appearance in the mate H a rimonial question. The marrying age of the Sea-girls is from 16 “i 20, a little earlier than that of the ordinary java? nese women. Ever since young girls begin met * lives of Sea Girls they save their earnings one =

bridal wardrobes, and often young accumu- © i's late a small fortune before they marry. — .' riage, however, does not stop the labor of the et )

women and they keep on diving until they ola too old. And although it is eld that Japan ts tbe at country to welcome the suffragette mo a she has this excellent example to show to suffragettes of the entire world. . 2

The 14 Southern States with Mississipp! and Oklahoma now have an aggregate population | 32,5000,000, which is only 18,000,000 less than ¢ total population of the entire United seems 188v,

: YU fj Ws Up } UY Soe YY >> VY fy T ig one thing to have been born beautjful. But to remain beautiful, that is quite another matter.” To keep her beauty a woman, es- pecially a professional woman, must be willing to work for it and to pay for it with time and thought and, care and money—thousands of dol- lars a year. The singer in comic opera, more than any other actress, has a double work to perform. She must preserve her looks because the public always cee: : demands beauty in a light opera | |: _ star, and she must keep Mer work up to the standard because that Log _ same incorrigible public demands work, hard work, too. ake Now, hard work for six nights a week during eight or ‘ months a year is fot calculated to preserve a woman's beav': Do you think so? Therefore, the comic opera star is on the horn of a dilemm2. _ Her two most valuable assets are her work and her looks, rnd _ the one will surely undermine the other unless she takes extrao _ dinary measures to prevent it.

RIBBON BANDEAU WITH - ROSEBUDS AND FRILL OF GOLD LACE. HE natural coiffure with - an extra switch or two is now the fashion. If you wish .to be strictly up to date, don't be economical in choos- ing a hair brush; buy @ bottle of hair tonic, be-. siege the scalp masseuse | and see to it that you have brilliantine on Lae hand to impart a gloss \ 2 yf if your hair has it not.

*. CPFECT IN Prepare .to give the 2 old-time 50 strokes at. night with the brush; for- get there ever was a bottle of peroxide of hy- urogen in the world, and as for “ruffing up,” avoid it as you would the plague. : Unkempt hair with split ends, hair too dead for a healthy sheen, hair overwashed and under- brushed, faded with dryers, bleached with per- oxide, all belong to the limbo of swirls and puffs. Women’s heads have notably shrunk this win- ter. As a matter of fact, they are now about half as large in contour as they have been during the last half decade. But it is a dtminishing which ma‘es for beauty, and every woman who has taten advantage of the new mode to leave off rats, puffs and voluminous braids is vastly ‘improved by the transformation. Of’ course, the average woman must always wear some false hair. The habit is still strong, devastating as it is to the health of the natural hair. But rats and cushions and heevy coronet braids have passed into oblivion for the time. _ Geftainly the fashions in coiffures of late years havé laid waste women’s hair with a destroying hand, played havoc with glossy suits, and reuuced to a fringe what was once a nobl. Braid. Now, at last, the new fashion offers an oportunity to call back to life the dead locks hidden for five years under masses of false hair, and women are not slow to take .advantage of it. Never has the scalp masseuse been busier than she is right now.. All her old clients have dalled in her services and many new ones’ also. The best hair tonics are in great demand. Curling irons are laid ‘on the shelf temporarily, and a. _ glossy, well-groomed head of haif-if straight, no matter—is coveted by every woman and gir! whe ? 7% ake to be-in the fashion. The most notable feature of the new éoltture ‘ts “tbat it entire conceals‘the ears by means‘of - citclets of plaiter L hair or by waves and coils of hair’ ‘The shape of the “head {s closely outlined **in front, hie fr § flat on top and the mass of hair arragees Jow on the nape of the neck. A mode intyodticed from Paris last spring, which has spread {te. fire over the entire country, namely, thes three buns, two covering the ears ind one on tlie nape of the neck, has been varied ~ dnd dignified into an unbroken coil of plaits, still * covering the ears and brought down low on the neck. In every variation of this mode the foreheuu is well. covered, always a becoming and soft€uing fashiom.and the side locks drawn down loosely so as to meet the coils over the ears.. If the hair is. quite stiaight the arrangement ds ‘singularly neat and effective. It is fairly down on top, parted in the middle, after er of.a Dutch peasant girl’s head dress, pew ‘colled tightly = compactly osmes in one or three coils. A good example of this arrangement is shown by Miss Louise Drew in her father’s play, “A Single Man,” in which she takes the part of a young Married woman. Her hair isso smoothly brushed down to the plaited coils that it reflects the lights like a hardwood floor, and while it is _fmardly becoming, it is not without a certain ~ piquant c.arm. An illustration on this page shows a quaint ar- _ fangéement of bionde hair. Curling irons, in-. - variably ruinous to fine, straw-colored hair of ‘this character, have not been used, but the locks have béen allowed ‘\ remain st*aight, as nature - fntended them, the effect of the coiffure depend- ing on the beauty of the color and abundan*: of the hair, In fact, waves, unless natural, are not - often s¢en, and even the slight fringe or bang in front is merely turned under and not frizzed. “The moditied nsyche is also exceedingly popu- lar, especially when evening dress is worn. It is or a more te coiffure and permits the use of “oy which now appears to be the nat- cual | accompaniment ge tr — the Greek knot is more in | ¥ ‘ ny | MODIFIED PSYCHE -—— JEWELED AND ‘ BEADED BANDEAU, ~ WITH BEADED AIGRETTE. ve its original form, the hair relled in a firm, thick coil rather high on the back of the head. One of the illustrations shows an arrangement much in vogue this winter—a variation of the psyche knot which hides the line,of the head in the back, but leaves ample space in front for the cequettish fringe over the forehead and the jeweled and beaded bandeau with the dasbing jeweled aigrette at one side. This also covers the ears and is undoubtedly distinctive and becoming. But it smacks q little of the old-time puffs and is- much less effective than the newer and simpler arrangements. Much prettier and more girlish is the coiffure shown in another picture, where .the arrange- ment is subortinated to the charming ribbon bandeau with its frill of gold lace and occasional satin rosebud. The artist who dressed this hair studied the line of the face without regard to styles and conventions, which, as a matter of fact, is what every hairdresser’ should do.’ Here the rolis of h@ir are drawn down low over the rather high forehead so as to make a frame for the face, and nothing could be more youthful or becoming than’ the dainty crownless capote which encircles the loose coil.of hair on ‘top of the head. A mode for fluffy hair, and more especially for older women with white hair, is shown in the double-coiled roll fastened somewhat low in the back and covering the ears. This can: hardly be accomplished with one’s own hair unless it hap- pens to be very thick, and is usually constructed with a braid and fastened over the natura: hair, which is considerably “pompadouread on _ top, drawn down over the ears at the sides and se- cured in a snug little knot under the braid. It is interesting to note here that older women t no longer wearing their hair in the oi. time conventional “tight” styles. There is a decided leaning now toward more youthful and softer e sets. Most hairdressers will tel] vou that hair worn low on the neck is considered a youthful style, always making a face look younger, but there is surely much distinction and dignity in this new low coiffure suited to faces of all ages. either rolled into an English bun or massed in coils.and plaits at the back. oe And, speaking of England, which even. more than France is the home for conventional and set Styles in hairdressing, an arrangement is now being used there for keeping the hair from slip. ping when it is done low, a trigk it has when arranged in this way. These hair frames, called “Merveilleuse,” con- sist of three cushions, hollow and formed of light-weight wire, one for the middle of the back and one for each ear. They provide the necessary support fo: the three coils of hair, which, after being draw over them, may be fixed into permanent tidiness by having the ends tucked in and fastened. Two little extra plaits for making the ear pieces are heeded, of course, and in our shops here these little plaited buns may be purchased ready for pinning on.

RC P NEW COIFFURE. sn ee THE EARS ~

& COIFF BRAI ANDEOILED va VOSELY bunches of curls of a century ago. It is quaict and charming for a quaint and charming face, and picturesque for the pieturesque, but let those who have not these qualities beware of the bunches df. curls at the sides. Fanciful and delightful as they appear when worn against the face of a type like the one pic- tured here, on a less quaint and youthful head they would lose much. of their effect, and might even appear ridiculous and unsuitable. Never-, theless, these little bunches of curls are being worn to some extent. And now a last word in regard to the care of the hair. : Autumn is always the season of falling hair, and the reason of it is generall¥ neglect in sum- mer, sunburn, salt water wettings and lack of scalp massage. What the scalp needs at this time is a good feeding-up. Strong shampoos and hair lighteners are to be avoided always, and more especially now, when the scalp is already dried up and scaling off: What it really requires is a good stimulating food, a little almond oil or red vaseline or a pomade like the following: Cocoanut oil Tincture of nux vomica . . 44% drams Jamaica bay rum os ounces Oil of bergamot . drops As for the shampoo mixture, use no mixture at all, but the best castile soap and hot water. Scalp massage, by invigorating and circulation and the natural oils, will restore the gloss, as will also a good brushing every night.

But she was just a child—an innocent little child; and tow the deuce could I ever make her understand? I stammered: “Why—er—not in New York, you know. They won't take a lady in at this time of night. They”— She snapped her fingers, “Oh, I say, Mr. Lightnut, flay easier on that girlie and lady pedal: cook up a fresh fag! I tell you, I've put all that behind me Say, wait till you've known me a little, and I'll bet 2 purse you never cal] me a lady again. Lady! Say, that’s funny:” And it certainly seemed to strike her sense of humor. She gave me a sudden punch in the side that fairly left me breathless, and her laughter rang out birdlike, joy- ous. Of a sudden I felt devilish awkward and foolish. “Oh, please stop stringing me, Mr. Lightnut—don't treat me like a kid. I want to get acquainiei.’ Then her bright face sobered. “Say, was that on the level— that about your going to leave me? See here, I'm not bothering you, am I, Mr. Lightnut?’ “Bothering me!’ I ejaculated. should say not!” i think I must have said it heartily and convincingly don't you know, for her lovely face looked pleased. “Because if I am,” she said earnestly, into my own little room there.” Her glance. ranged toward her door. “It’s sure some swell, that room,” "so jolly glad you like it,” I said. “We ', I should say!” Then her beautiful eyes looked at me full. “You know; I didn't expect this—I mean having a room all to myself. Never.” And then, while 1 gasped, she went on, calmty: “Why, Mr. Lightnut, Brother Jack would throw sev- «~nteen thousand fits if I went to a hotel, because’— Bhe laughed deliciously. “Well, I promised him that if he would let me come home by New York I would stay right here with you and behave myself.” “Behave yourself!’ I echoed indignantly. “Why, look here. do you mean to say Jack Billings—your own br:-ther, you know—thought you wouldn't—er—do that at a hotel? “Thodght?” Her laugh this time Was explosive, ‘No, he never thought it; he knew. I wouldn't! He knew I would be tearing around all night with the boys—that's what" 2 Ard dash me if she didn't throw herself back with a kind of swagger, by Jove! tWhy. you-—you wouldnt do such a thing!” I uttered “Bothering me? sweetly anid Atly A ouldn’t [?” She straightened suddenly, and here x blue eyes narrowed at me. “Say, Mr. Lightnut, I Ywant you to get me sized up wrong. I'm none ,vur little waxy gardenias—not much! When I'm ‘n New Ycrk, it’s the bright lights and the Great White Way for mine—vyes, sir, every time!” And she gave me a blow on the shoulder that was lik» a stroke from a man’s arm. It sent me down into my chair, “If you don't belleve me,” she added, her face shininz with excitement, “just you ask Jack about last summer when I came through—about that joy ride to Coney with three Columbia fellows, and how we got pinched, Oh, mamma, but didr’tY Jack swear at me'” Aa I heard a noise by the door. Jenkins stood there, his eyes sticking out like hard boil. d eges. “I—I'm back, sir,” he said rather falteringly. “Beg pardon, sir; just thought you'd want to know. I d’ dn't Known you h'm! And with an odd look and a little 2ough Jenkins slipped away. But I scarcely noticed him at all. ‘ Poor misguided girl! My brain was buzzing like a devilish hive of bees, don’t you know. By Jove, this was something awful! And yet—and yet— Her frank, sweet face met mine with a clear light that there was no mistaking. There was no going behind it—she was a thoroughbred, a queen—a lady, dash it! I knew it! And I just settled on that, and was ready to die right then and there ‘:f: anybody dared to dispute it. 1 didn’t care a jolly hanz how she talked; it was just nothing—just the demoraliz- ing swagger of a little boarding school girl trying to show off like her brothers. And her language? Why. just the devilish, natural result of having a coarse. slangy brute like Billings for a brother. Poor litt!- girl!

Have to: I haven't got a man to do it for me.” She seemed to sigh. “Not old enough yet to have a man, Jack says,” And just here her attention seemed to center on my cellarette over in the corner, “Gee, but it’s warm tonight, isn’t it?” absenily. And there was nothing to do but take the hint or leave it; and after all she was a guest, you know! “Perhaps you will permit me to offer vou some re- freshment,” I suggested, risifig.

Nearest thing would be a little seltzer and ginger ale. That would do. “Oh, I say, I'm going to make you a highball,” trying to assume a frisky, jocular air.

That explained it, just as it ex- plained to me all her other unconventionality. “So now it’s up to you,” she said, “and I want to know what’s the answer.” The answer! And how could I give her any answer? No, by Jove, I knew jolly well I couldn't take advantage of such circumstances—of her artless confession; knew devilisn well it wouldn't. do, you know. Might reproach me in years to come; and then—and then, there was Billings! So I just contented myself with tooking up smilingly, but it was hard—awfully, awfuily hard, dash it—and I just felt like a jolly cad—or fool. Couldn't tell which CHAPTER VII. CONFIDENCES By Jove, that’s what it amounted to practically; and now, as she said, it was up to me. Yet I couldn’t say a word! ‘Well, what must I do about the other one?” she in- sisted. The question reminded me of the entanglement to which her frank simplicity had confessed. And she eX- pected me, of all others, to tell her what. to do! I looks. up into the radiant, crimsoned face as she bent forward slightly, her lips parted, her eyes eager—expectant, Sire was hanging upon my reply.

I nodded and tried to find her hand as I looked down, “So that’s where the shoe pinches!” And she whis tled thoughtfully. And just then my upward reaching hand found. hers And vet, no, it couldn’t be her hand, either; it felt like the crash cover of the cushion—rough and fibrous, And vet, bv Jove, it was a hand, for it gave mine a grip that almost broke my fingers and then dropped them. By the time I looked up, I saw only her little paim resting upward on her knee. It was funny; but I had other things to think. about than puzzles. ; She sighed, “Well, I'm the one that can feel for you, Dicky.” Here the sigh lifted and her laugh pealed like a chime of silver bells. “I guess Brother Jack doesn’t know as much about your affairs as he thinks, does he—eh? Why, he told me you were. more afraid of a girl than of a mad dog.” And a slapping grip fell on my shoulder that made m-* tingle from head to toe. And yet I wished she wouldn't do that: if she did it again, I should just lose my head —I new I should. Rut here she rose, stretched her arms, and dropped into the wicker arm-chair. She hitched it nearer to me. “You see, it’s like this,’ she hegan, assuming a con- fidential air. “You know my sister's up at school at Cambridge, too.” “At Radcliffe College—yes.’ I nodded. “Why, ves.

T was the first thing I saw that night as I swung into my chambers. Fact is, for the moment, it was the only thing I saw, Somehow, its splash of yellow there under the shaded lamp seemed to catch my eye and hold it. I screwed my glass tight and examined the thing with interest. Nothing remarkable; just a tiny, oblong pack- age bearing curious foreign markings, its wrapper plain- ly addressed to me, but “By Jove! From China!’’ I ejaculated. Somebody in far-off China sending me a present, with duties and charges prepaid evidently. What the deuce was it? I shook it without getting any revelation: then I weighed it in my hand, The thing was devilish light! In fact, so light that, allowing for outside wrapper and box, dashed if I could see how there was anything at all. Then I had an awful thought: Suppose, by Jove they had forgotten to inclose the thing—whatever it was! Jolly tiresome, that, if they had. I felt devilish annoyed. teally, awful provoking to do that sort of thing, you know; and I was jolly sure now the dashed thing had been wrapped up empty. I wondered what silly ass: I knew in China who would be likely to do a thing like that. I couldn’t think of anyone at all I knew im China, so I rang for Jenkins. “Anybody I know in China, Jenkins?’ I asked. And to help him out, I added: ‘Fact is, some.chap’s sent me a package, you know.” | “Name on box, sir, perhaps.” - Said it offhand, just like that—no trouble of thinking, dash it all—never even blinded. Just instinct, by Jove! And there it was, nicely printed in the corner with 4 pen: . F ROLAND MASTERMANN, GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONG KONG, CHINA. I read it aloud—can’t read anything, you know, unless I read it aloud—and looked at Jenkins inquiringly. But he was right up to the scratch; just seemed to get in from somewhere right out of the wall over my head: “Beg pardon, sir; but think it’s that London gentleman —entertained you at the Carlton when you were over the other side.” Mastermann! By Jove, so it was—I began to remem- ber him now, because I remembered his dinner, several of them, in fact, during the three years I had lived over there, acquiring the English accent—manner, you know —and all that sort of thing! Mastermann—oh, yes, I had him, now! Jolly rum old boy, but entertaining and clever—long hair, pink wart on jaw! And, by Jove, I had promised him—promised him —what the deuce was it I had promised him? Let me see: he was something or other in the foreign office; yes, I had that—and tremendously ‘interested in mum- mies and psychicai jnvestigation and rum sort of things like that, and—— “By Jove!’ I ejaculated, as it came to me. “And for that reason he wanted thein to send him out to China.’ “Beg pardon, sir,” put in Jenkins, “but think you had a letter with a Chinese postmark last week.” He looked around at my little writing-desk and cougred slightly behind his hand. “Was just a-wondering, sir, if it might not be among those you haven't opened—there are several piles. If |! might look, sir’ I nodded. Fact is, I allow Jenkins much privilege ow- ing to long service. Then, you know-——oh, dash it, hes so original—so refreshing and that sort of thing—so sur- prising. Just as in this case, he thinks of so many devil- ishiy ingenious, out-of-the-way sort of things! - {t was Jenkins’ idea that I find out what was in the box by just opening the dashed thing while he looked for the letter. Clever that, eh? Well, rather’! So I unsheathed my little pocket manicure knife, cut the strings and removed the wrapper. Instde was a little straw-covered box with a telescope cover and inside! the box, wrapped in tissue, was a tight roll of bright red silk. That was all—not another thing but this little silk roll. Jt was a wad as thick as three fingers and per- haps twice as long, tied with a bit of common string, ending in a loose bowknot, e I gripped my glass a bit tighter in my eyes and took a long shot at the thing. But dashed if I could make anything out of it at all. You see, the string went around it at least three or four times. Such a devilish secretive way to fix a thing, don’t you think? A queer, sweet, spicy sort of odor swept past me that reminded me of the atmosphere at Santine’s and places in the Metropolitan Art Museum. I sat down, the better to think it over, turning the little roll in my hand ans trying to think of all the things it might be. ‘Looks like it might be a red. silk muffler, Jenkins,’ I exclaimed in disgust. By Jove, I was never so devilish disapopinted in my life—never—I’m sure of it! If I had been a girl I should have cried—dash it, I know I sheuld, I pinched the roll gloomily. “Tf it's a red silk muffler, Jenkins, cateh me wearing it, that’s all!’’ I burst out indignantly. “Rotten bad form, if yot! ask me. I'd look like an out-and-out bounder!: Then I had a horrible thought: , “Or—o—r the Salvation Army, dash it!” Here Jenkins, thrust a letter at me. “Perhaps this may explain it, sir,’ he suggested.
