It of despair at $1 dose, 5 en THE COMPETITIVE PRINCIPLE. Eminent counsel, almost overwhelming in pres- tige and weight of authority, appear in behalf of the noncompetitive, or trust, principle in na- tiona] industry.. We beg leave to file a brief for that fugitive outlaw of the commercial world, competition, against pleadings formulated by such exponents of Big Business as Mr. Gary and Mr. Perkins, assisted by their advocates and special representatives in this issue, Mr. —T velt and Mr. Wickersham. Speaking in general of thé economies that must unhesitatingly be conceded to combination, the advantage is shown by analysis not to inure to the public. On the contrary, monopoly combina- } tions have been one of the most ruthless and ob- noxious of several] influences which have imposed unjust burdens in increased living cost on every man in the country, Interested motives impeach the reliability of the witnesses who testify against competition. aue exhibits they labei as benefits to the public should be labeled benefits for themselves. Against witnesses of manifest bias may be summoned a dozen generations of men who have lived under the common law, to whom monopoly has been ever hateful, by whom competition, even with its waste, would be defended, as promotive of industrial equality. Five hundred years ago, in the reign of Henry IV, a common law decision affirmed the equality of opportunity in ordinary business, in distinction from the exclusive oppor- tunity of the old trade guilds. If the forge, the loom, the work bench have suddenly been invested with a “special public in- terest,” they have not had during all these cen- ‘turies, it is becamse vast fabrics of monopoly have beén built on them, comdemned by ten thou- sand precedents in the law on the day of their creation and on every day during theif? perpetua- tion. “The special public interest” in the sense meant arises because of a perversion from legiti- mate to pernicious ends. The state control urged is designed to legalize the perversion. The American people will be persuaded with difficulty that predatory commercial ‘organiza- tions must be given a license to prey, conditioned on the proviso that they prey with a little more self-restraint than heretofore. = = * e =~". — A severe case of kleptomania at the city hos- pital resulting in five thefts in six weeks needs treatment.

History records their lack of military efficiency with painful clearness in many incidents of actual war. There are, however, some penalties people must pay for their unwillingness to countenance universal conscription. And, taking our late Spanish war, was it the militia or the profes- sional experts of the War Department who were to blame for feeding the troops embalmed beef, for picking out unhealthful camp grounds, for the neglect to enforce proper sanitary regula- tions? Analysis will show that most of the fearful blunders of that: war, commonly ettributed to the militia, would have been avoided, ‘if the profes- sional attaches of the War Department had ren- dered the service the country had a right to ex- pect of them.

A Californian with an experience of more than an average generation in California tonditions is now marketing 10 large volumes of California literature of his own manufacture. Its conclu- sion is that the conditions he knows best are

illustrated in nature by startling brillfancy, when masses of animal and vegetable compost in marshes produce gases which take fire sponta- neously as they rise to the surface This is @ metaphorical summary of the Bierce theory for contrast with the theory of salvation the late Matthew Arnold preached during his American tour. When he thought conditions in England the worst possible, he borrowed from Hebrew prophecy the hope of redemption through a “Remnant,” representing “sweetness and light.” As himself supposably a representative of this Remnant, he created little enthusiasm for the idea. But there is occasion for enthusiasm now as the saving grace of the California remnant manifested itself in Precinct 121 of Los Angeles. When required to stand for half an hour man atmosphere of explosive passion, waiting to cast her first ballot, a California house-mother, with her apron on, illustrated the meaning of sgving grace through the Remnant when she announced that she would not let her family’s bread burn for all the politics in California. If, as it may be, California is now at its worst politically, its salvation is certain through its “Remnant,” as the Remnant keeps its apron on and puts its sweetness into- the children’s bread. th rr,

That Kansas City manicurist’s ownership of a $500 diamond ring is another striking proof that the poor are growing-poorer and the rich richer. Eh? DON’T FORGET YOUR RED CROSS SEALS. Human lives are the nation’s most valuable as- set. The most deadly enemy to human life is tuberculosis. In Missouri tuberculosis is respon- sible for 12 per cent of all deaths. Its victims during the year 1911 will number more than 5000. To combat this scourge is a public duty. This great work for humanity is being carried on by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tubercidlosis, under direction of which state associations, county, city and village organizations, are united in a nation-wide. cam- paign of education and sanitation, which must ultimately rout the white plague, just as yellow fever and smallpox have beén subdued to com- parative impotency as factors in death rate. The Missour! Association fo and Control of Tuberculosis, which has recently been reor- ganized and is now actively engaged in the good fight, merits the ald of everyone who can afford

The Post-Dtspatch’s interviews with the mem- bers of the Missouri delegation ‘in Congress show unanimous sentiment on the-part of the State’s senators and representatives in favor of effective action to stop Russia’s discrimination against Jewish citizens in violation of her treaty obliga- tions. The attitude of Missouri Congressmen is that of the whole Congress, of the President and the Cabinet. The press is a unit and the people only need to be aroused to a realization of the true purport of Russia’s insulting course to ‘ar- rive at a solidarity of sentiment which will com- pel ,Pttective measures. The issue created by ‘Russia’s course is not a Jewish question, It concerns, the rights of all American citizens, the dignity and worth of

Russia to read into our treaty distinctions of race and religion which we abhor and@ which are not in our Constitution or laws. Americans must stand together uncompromisingly on ‘the platform ot equality. | The meeting at Temple. Israel this morning should express unqualifiedly the demand, not. alone of the Jewish citizens, but of all American citizens in St: Louis for the cessation on the part of Russia of a policy, our submission to. which has been a reproach to the United States for more than half a century. w — — _ i, ti Pa i a

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatcn: In reading a letter signed “Bx-Soldier, ”" I am tempted to answer it as I have been a “tin sol- dier’” myself. I was a member of Company M, T'hirty-third Michigan, after it was mustered out of service in the Spanish War, and while I have not been in actual service I will say that I have been in service in places where the reguéar sol- dier would have made an awful holler. Perhaps some of your Missouri militia men remember West #’oint, Ky., where several years ago 16,000 militia and regular soldiers were encamped in mimic war- fare. The regulars had three meals a day, while some of us poor rookies had to pick berries and eat persimmons to keep our stomachs from thfink- ing our throats were’cut; and if you will inquire you will fing that the militia men were the ones who made the 26-mile hike In two days of pouring rain, and that they made camp, dug trenches with their bayonets and ajl other duties of battle also in the same nd 9 rain; also that they slept, on

the bare ground d from Monday morning till Tuesday morning all we had to eat was one pound of canned beef and three hard tacks, with one pint ef coffee. But when we got back home there was not a man in our battalion that quit or was sick. Again, at Ludingtof, Mich., when two Polish children were lost in the trackless woods of that part of the State, our boys were sent out to find them, which we did, after the people of that sec- tion had given up, and we were all clerks and such like from the city and as your Ex-Soldier would have you believe not capable of hardships. W. N. SCOTT, Too Many Dogs. Té the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In the block of West Pine boulevard between Spring avenue and Vandeventer there are half a dozen worthless curs, howling and ‘barking during day and part of the night. Early in the morning and late in the evening, particularly; thev dis- turb the peace of the people, and their owners seem to have no regard for the feelings ef their neighbors. with this nuisance? These curs are absolutely good for nothing. No doubt this nuisance is also committed in other parts of the city. A SUFFERER. Low Wages and Morals. To the Bditor of the Post-Dispatch. A St. Louls paper, in its editorial columns, says that Mr. Robins cannot prove that vice is due to low wages. Now Mr. Robins is evidently not a socialist, but he is closely related to the union labor movement by marriage. The ques- ‘tion is one of economics, net morals. It is very easy to trace the connection| between low wages and vice. First by referring to Senate Dorument 166, Sixty-first Congress, second session, and also the report of the Chicago Vice Commission, both ascribing the prevalence of vice to low wages in: the “women’s trades,” and. the _¢*ploitation for profit for which the business is carried on. And, second, experts have found that education is the best weapon with which to-fight vice, not alone the education of those directly interested, but the fathers and mothers, and the future fa- thers and. mothers. But,. When the experts inves- tigated, they found that the children of the ime of vice were sent to work at the time of all ¢heir lives

REMEMBERING JOHN BRIGHT. From the Philadelphia Star. The custom of celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of great men seems to have taken firm hold, in all English-speaking countries at least. It is an inspiring thing to realize that the man who is unforgotten after a lapse of 20 to 50 years is in every instance the man who used his life for the benefit of the public. The gelfish men are not remembered when the centenary of thir birth rolls around, England has just honored the memory of John Bright, who fought for free trade, for Irish free- dom, for peace among the nations and who put His great influence at the service of Abraham Lincoln in the dark days of the Civil War.

From London Tit-Bits, At a lecture a well-known authority on economics mentioned the fact that in some parts of America the number of men was considerably larger than that of women, and he added, humorously: “T can, therefore, recommend the ladies to emi- grate to that part.” * A young woman seated tn one of the last rows of the auditorium got up, and, full of indignation, left the room rather noisily, whereupon the lec- turer remarked: “T did not mean that it Should be done in such a hurry.”

There are Clark headquar- and St. Louis. Mr. Clark Knows nothing of them. Clark buttons are worn by his friends in Congress. Mr, Clark knows nothing about the buttons, either. Judging by his complete ignorance of what is be- ing done in his behalf, it is reasonable to suppose that in the event he gets the nomination and is elected, his inaugural address will be something like this: “Ladies and gentlemen: This is a great surprise to me. Of course, I knew there was a President to be elected, and I might, considering all the good friends I have in this country, have guessed that they had entered me in the race, and were moving heaven and earth to elect me. Still, I was scarcely prepared for the news that I had won, and I am, therefore, unprepared to make the usual address. The ushers will distribute some copies of the Federal Constitution, the Democratic national platform, and some of the more pressing national laws. If you will please read them over carefully, they will give you a very good idea of what I am going to do. That is all, my friends. We shall hear from the Vice-president, who was running for the office all the time, and is there- fore better prepared upon this occasion.” THE GREATER ASSUAN DAM.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. BRUSSELS, Dec. 9.—Princess Louise of Belgium, the late King Leopold's eldest daughter, will have to worry along on her portion of the $3,000,000 bequeathed by him to his three daughters, the Princesses Louiset Stephanie and Clementine, for She has lost her action for $10,000,000 against the Belgian State. She Jallezed the money had been improperly invested by her father in a fund known as the Niederfulbach Foundation for the purpose of disinheriting her and her sisters. Tr Belgian Government contended that the millions belonged to the Congyu Free State and was «therefore the property of the State, which took over the colony three years ago. The King left $6,000.00 of his tertune to Baroness Vaughn, his morganatic wife. Leopold, instead of handing over his profits in the Congo Fre State to Belgium with its essets and liabilities, concealed them under the form of a private investment. The Government. then claimed the King’s estate on the ground that they belonged to the Congo -nd should revert to the State. " King Albert last year renounced on behalf of himself and his children any claim on King Leo- pold’s estate. He did this to avoid scandal, but Princess Louise decided to fight. The court de- cided that $300,000 given by Leopold to the Foun- dation a few days before his death should be di- vided betwe.n Louise and Wtephanie, Clementine having co.apromised with the Government before the suit wag fought far $600,000. Princess Louise is expected to appeal. “GARIBALDI” WITH ORDERS A PICTURESQUE FIGURE Speeial Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch and New York World.

EULALIA DID NOT WRITE | THAT BOOK, PARIS HEARS

Friends Indigantly Deny Rumor That Attributes Author- ship of Memoirs That Spanish King Forbids Her to Publish to Another—Scandal Likely ‘to Cause Rich American Women, Introduced by Her Into Society, to Stop “Giving” Her Costly “Presents.”’

EEE Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1911, by Press Pub, Co. (New York World.) | PARIS, Dec. 9.—As if to add to her sorrows of authorship a rumor is being circulated in Paris that Infanta Eulalia did not write “The Thread of Life,” the book which has caused her so much unhappiness already that she has fallen ill. The first public information “that Eulalia might not be alone responsible for the book which bears her name signed to the preface was an interview in the Temps in which an anonymous Spanish dip- lomat is quoted as saying with a significant smile: “The feature of the entire affair that astonished me most is the excellent French in which the book was written. I[ was not atware that Infanta Eu- lalia could write such perfect French.” Since then a report has traveled about the boule- vards that Infanta Eulalia was greatly helped in putting her thoughts into literary form by Jules Biers, a well-known writer who enjoys the ac- quaintance of the Infanta. It was Biers who first published the fact that the King of Spain had forbidden his aunt to circulate the book. The truth of the matter is that Eulalia speaks and writes French better than she does Spanish. She has lived nearly all her life in France, coming here with her mother when she was 2 years old. Only seven years of her 48 have been spent in Spain, According to her friends Eulalia had been work- ing on this book for nearly two years. Her PRINCESS ALBERT RADZIWILL #s COUNTESS @@ POTOCK “GARIBALDI" - ontnemeenl _—

King Alfonso is said to be unable to give Prince Louis’ wife the rank of an Infanta (Princess) be-f }Cause she is a Pfotestant and the Spanish royal family statutes ppasrse that: all Infantas must. be Catholics. It would be difficult to say which of the two emotions, cusiosity or consternation, dominated fashionable American society in Paris, when it was announced that Infdnta Eulalia had published her intimate autobiography. There was naturally the greatest curiosity to see what the book realy contained» tent of the-consternation it would be difficult to measure. For the Infanta has for 10 years or more been the one particular star of rqyal social sponsorship for rich. American women whose purses were large enough for the demands made upon them by the royal lady. Her encounter at Chicago with Mrs. Potter Falmer when she turned her back upon that lady, who was the official head of the,woman’s depart- ment of the Chicago’s World’s Fair, calling her an “inn-keeper’s wife’ is famous in Europe as well as in America. ; AMERICAN VISIT A GOLD MINE, | She has several] times told confidential friends that she found a gold mine in her Américan visit. It has been, however, most largely productive in Paris, where, in her easy, nonchalant way, she had presented more than a dozen different Ameri- can women to the most “difficult” circles of the Faubourg St. Germain, and then childishly arrayed

friends were aware of her intention to put her thoughts into book form and the thoughts thus expressed, they say, will not surprise those who know the Infanta, for she has often advanced in conversation the idea she expresses in print. SKEPTICAL OF ROYAL AUTHORSHIP. Cynical Paris is always skeptical when it is an- nounced that royalty has written a book, particu- larly when the book creates a sensation. The boulevards are always ready to believe that a hidden hand has been driving the pen. Hardly a new book appears without a rumor of concealed authorship. “Marie Claire,” which made a literary sensation last year, was credited to half a dozen instead of to Marguerite Audoux, former sewing woman, who was the real author. The Infanta’s book,-as has been cabled, shows remarkably wide reading. That she received help in making these researches is likely, Mut if so, it probably was merely the help of the secretary. That the thoughts expressed in “The Thread of Life” are the rea] thoughts of Infania Eulalia no one who has talked on the subjects with her will doubt. nor will such person feel any doubt that the language in which such thoughts are clothec Mg her own ¥- this In view of the Infanta’s changed attitude ward her royal nephew, it is probable that book will be withdrawn from circulation. Only 1000 copies have been printed, and almost all of these have been distributed among friends. When this edition is exhausted it is not likely that an- other will be printed. Already it has become practically impossible to obtain a copy of the book in Paris. : King Alfonso’s first telegram to his aunt, Eu- lalia, was sent without consultation with anybody except his wife, Queen Victoria. That accounts for the undiplomatic tone. TOO FRIENDLY WITH SOCIALISTS. The King and Queen had heard that Infanta Eu- lalia was perpetually criticsing and belittling them. What Alfonso especially resented was that she had become friendly with certain exiled Span- ish Socialists resident in Paris. That he regarded as treason. Fulalia’s defiance greatly damaged the position and prospects of her youngest son, Prince Louis Ferdinand and his wife, former Princess Beatrice of Coburg, for whom Alfonso really desired to do everything in his power. The Prince was to have rehabilitated himself on account of his marriage with Beatrice without the King’s permission and being deprived of rank and royal privileges by serving with the Spanish army at Melilia, Mo- rocco, But quickly tiring of campaigning’ and saying that he was ill, he returned home. That also angered King Alfonso because it excited the contemptuous criticism of the Socialists, who said that a common soldier should not risk his Ife for a moharchy whose own members would not fignt. » *

—— herself in the ennitebnt garments from Pacquin and Worth to her as “presents” from the Ameri- cans. Her intimate’entree at any European court has long been a matter of the past. The Infanta has assiduously followed the role of her mother, old Queen Isabella,,in shocking every possible con- vention. Her sons were educated in England, at Eton, and she paid them frequent visits, but was never invited to Windsor Castle or Buckingham Palace. ' Her best friend among the royalties was King Leopold of the Belgians, whom she has always stoutly defended. But there has never been a public breach with her own court at Madrid and consequently, the leaders of the Faubourg St. Ger- main in Paris have always treated her with the utmost consideration and honor, and have been willing to forgive her anything. AMERICANS’ VISIT ANGERED KING, It is said here that her nephew, King Alfonso, would not have been quite so severe upon her if he and Queen Victoria had not been exasperated during the last year when she wert to Madrid in a touring car with a rich American woman and her husband, and actually presented the Americans at tea at the palace without an invitation. The American lady had recently published a book on Italian court life, writing about intimate visits to the homes of royalty and intimate con- versations with them. But the Spanish court is very different from the democratic one of Italy; and King Alfonso and Queen Victoria thought their royal aunt had contrived to give the American material for a book about them. s It f customary, whenever Americans are pre- sented at court in Europe, that it shall be through the American diplomatic representative, and no one else. But that would have meant, for this particular American woman, merely a formal au- dience, such as dozens of others have obtained. Infanta Eulalia’s audacity in thrusting the for- eignérs upon the King and Queen created a scan- dal which the Spanish court will not recover from for many a day. The worst of it all was that King Alfonso had to return his aunt’s call as a matter of etiquette, and also had to encounter again the two Americans. The English and American papers published in Paris later con- tafned columns about the visit of Americans at the Spanish court. Fulalia has many real friends in Paris who un- derstand the weakness of ber volatile, prodigal nature, and who probably would stick to her, even if King Alfonso should cast her off. But the “presents” which the rich Americans have showered upon her, after an inyitation to meet royalty, probably will cease. She will dis> cover that in her reckless, undisciplined method to obtain money from her book, she has killed the “goose that laid the golden egg.” . But the ex-_

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1911, by Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Dec. 9.—The Dow- ager Czarina of Russia, sister of King Frederick, gave the police officials a shock recently by los- ing herself and then riding home in a public tax!i- cab. She did it to show that the expensive body- guard of picked Danish and Russian police that is expected to guard her every movement is worthless, For years the two governments have swasties this guard whenever she comes to Denmark, and now that she has determifed to remain in her na- tive land almost permanently there has been public protest against, the expense. The news- papers took up the matter and in this way the Dowager Czarina heard about it. She, too, had long opposed such close espionage as being unnecessary and decided upon a sensa- t'onal demonstration. With a lady jn waiting - she left her winter home in Amalienborg Pala:e by a side entrance, called a passing cab and was driven to the studio of a favorite urtist, where she remained several hours inspecting pictures. There was inquiry for her at the palace, and when she could not be found the high-priced guard was thrown into the utmost excitement. In the midst of it the Dowager Czarina drove up.

This pantomime follows closely tite lines of the great spectacular produc- tions made in London at this joyous time of the year, and it has never be- fore been given in St. Louis. Its enter. taining story introduces such famous child-lore figures as Pierrot, Columbine, Harlequin, Pantaloon, the Ohristmas Fairy, St. Nicholas and many well-be- loved Mother Goose characters. Well-known singers singing the old- time Christmas carols will be one of the features of the picturesque offering, and the hearty and inspiring atmosphere of the Yuletide will envelop the production, attractive to grown folks and children alike. -Many clever little people, pu- pils of Miss Alice Martin, will appear in novel dances and Miss Martin and Miss Hattie Gooding are the directors of the entertainment. The Dickens Fellowship, 8st. Louis Branch, will celebrate the Yuletide sea- gon next Saturday evening at the Knights of Columbus Hall, instead of at the Odeon, as previously announced. An old English Christmas party and bazar has been arranged for the occa- \edy success, of “Excuse Me.”" The prices at Studebaker are: Lower floor, $1.50; cony, $1.000 and 75 cents.

Politics-——Other Interesting Stage News. | By RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. URELY every suffragette in the S land will rise to acclaim the’ teaching of the new comedy en- titled “Standing Pat,”’ in which Zelda Sears soon is to star, having exhausted the possibilities of “The Nest Egg,” which gave her such a big succes dur- ing the past two seasons. For, despite the fact that “Standing Pat” has a distinct suggestion of mas- culinity through its title’s earlicr asso- lation with the game most dearly be- loved by men, and, later, as the slogan of one wing of a great political party, it is the most emphatic assertion of woman's equality with the sterner sex that has yet been voiced across the foot-' lights. It tells the story of Sallie Thom- as, the very latest “Girl of the Golden West,” who, on the death of her father, undertakes to carry on his banking busi- ness in a Colorado town. Splendidly competent, Sallie not only undertakes to fill this big contract, but does actu- ally fill it, “delivering the goods’”’ in the most convincing manner, umphant competition with men who did their level best to force her out of the field. Then, because women enjoyed the wight of suffrage in the Colorado town where all these things happened, Sallie Thomas was duly elected Mayor on the streneth of her business record, her task now being to break up a ring of graft- ers who long have held the community in their thieving clutch. And does she “smash the gang?” Well, the way she does it is good and plenty, at the same time finding a worthy husband for her younger sister and bringing her own heart-interest romance to the happiest culmination. “Arms and the man I sing no more!” the poets well may chant at such a jun¢ture.

W. “= Mason’s emotional drama, “The == Witness for the Defense,” suc- ed her uncle, John Drew, at the ire Theater in New York City last Seaasy evening, then giving metropoli- tan. playgoers their first view of the new play in which she was seen at the Olympic Theater in St. Leuls nearly two months ago. In instanees where both star and play » are of such uncommon distinction it is interesting to note the New York re- ception of a stage offering upon which St. Louis already has handed down its critical verdict. This interest becomes particularly acute in the case of Miss Barrymore, to whom Sir Arthur Wing .Pinero’s ‘“‘Mid-Channel” first gave op- ‘portunity for a revelation of dramatic power that lifted her out of the cate- ' gory of gracefully superficial players of society roles and placed upon her the responsibility at.aching to nigher gifts than those of mere personal charm and ease of bearing. She had shown her mettle in the Pinero drama, and it now remained for her achievement in the _ Mason play to prove that her excellent- oly portrayed Zoe Blundell was some- Miih mors thah @ fash in the pan. so to speak. » Quite confidently had Miss Barrymore essayed to present this proof in the St. Louis production of “The Witness for | the Defense,” and, with equal confi- _ @ence, she submitted the same work to , her New York public, which sometimes resents a booking that gives so notable @ dramatic venture its American pre- miere in another city. , _ AT the time of the play's St. Louis : presentation the Post-Dispatch as " gave a careful review of the per- _ fermance, paying heed alike to Mr. Ma- son's work as a dramatist and to Miss Barrymore’s acquittal of herself in a - ‘@istinctly trying emotional role. ® $$_Miss Barrymore, the Post-Dispatch critic declared, “revealed a new loveli- ' Bess and an added dramatic power’ in _ the part of Stella Ballantyne, the wife _ Who killed her brutal husband under _ terrible provocation and then sought bappiness by marpying a man from _@hom she had concealed the truth of - ber blood-guiltiness. Nevertheless, the _ feviewer pointed out, it was the grip- ping quality of the play itself, not the _ @ork of Miss Barrymore, which held the » pudience tense with interest. ‘‘Most of _ the talk between the acts,” the critic a. “was not about the beauty, the and the art of Ethel Barrymore, as all these were of praiseful = _ pomment. It was not about the acting : of any individual in her small and won- . ly capable company. It was about play—what had passed and what likely to come next.”’ the play was characterized as of a. well-known woman physi who used ‘it with remarkable eH | Jing interest far out of the common. ZOE FULTON "THAIS being “melodramauc, but not melo- drama.” critics still like Miss Barrymore very much indeed, but are not deep- ly impressed by the Mason piay, upon which they did not have the privilege of passing the first American judgment. The World, however, differs in this— that it deplores all the endeavor of this actress in other than the field of com- edy. “Miss Barrymore’s professional obses- sion,” says the World, “im that'at reg- T would appear that the New York must hide her constantly mellowing per- sonality, which .responds go readily to humorous moods, under a mantle of gloom, This evidently is her year to be somber. She satisfactorily emphasizes the distress of the much abused wife in the first @ct and the woman’s secret perturbation in the later scenes.” The Sun declares that “if the spectators were not as interested toward the close of the performance as they were at the outset, the fault does not lie in any- thing the actress did or left undone. There was a sharp decline in the in- terest of the drama as it progressed.”’ “As a drama of an especially important sort,”’ asserts the Times, ‘“‘Mr. Mason’s piece is: practically nil; as a stage play it is moderately effective. On the whole, it is not uninteresting, and it provides a fine role for Miss Barrymore. As such it serves a breadth of expression, a sin- cerity of touch, a variety of emotions, that revealed her as the very remark- able artiste she is.’’ The Tribune says: “Though Miss Barrymore conquered her }audience all the way; it was not diffi- cult to do this, because, from the fifst moments of the play, all the sympathy of the audience was with the troubled woman she portrayed. The interpreta- tion of the character of Stella Ballan- tyne demands not only intense feeling and deep sincerity, but a subtle and ex- quisite art. These demands, varied and unceasing, Miss Barrymore met and fulfilled.” “While the motive upon which this play turns is not quite con- vincing,’’ writes the Herald critic, ‘‘it was so skilfully acted by Miss Barry- more and the admirable supporting com- pany that the large audience gave the star many curtain calls. Miss Barry- more is developing more and more along the line of deeper emotion without los- ing the delicate comedy touch that dis- tinguished her earlier acting.”” The Press announces that “Miss Barrymore made a very charming and sympathetic murderess, and her art in Mr. Mason's drama should go far to make wife-beat- ing a lesa fashionable, sport in Great Britain and its possessions beyond the seas. With the morals of the Mason parior melodrama I have no wish to quarrel overmuch, because ‘The Witness for the Defense,’ notwithstanding its preposterous premises and its carica- ture of life, is an engaging yarn skil- fully spun and efficiently written. Ii is put together rather cleverly, and it is acted in a manner altogether superior to ite value as a drama.” All of which !s distinctly interesting, almost making me wish that I had been in St. Louis instead of New York for at least the first night of ‘‘The Witness for the Defense”’ at the Olympic. That same night, however, I was seeing Edgar Sel- wyn in “The b” at the Astof Thea-" ter in the metropolis, and, as this latter Play has scored the most picturesque hit of the season, I shall rest content with matters as they now mead. , ™ ‘~ 2 Tonight's offering by the German Stock Company at the Odeon will be “Der Hund von Baskerville,”’ a drama- tized version of one of Conan Doyle's most thrilling detective stories.

Goltra’s ball Friday evening at the St. Louis Club, in honor of Miss Margaret Brown— Mrs. Goltra’s sister—was the most bril- liant affair of the season thus far. The club ball room, with its broad . stairway leading down into the hall and overlooking the dining room, lends itself beautifully to decoration. The huge room is done in Empire panels of old rose satin, and on that evening the ceiling was almost cevered with a lattice work of wild smilax that trailed down on the side walls and be- fore each panel was a tall vase, filled with American Beauties. The stairway was festooned with smilax with tall standards of roses at intervals. The dining room was decorated with th® same green vines and on the small tables were clusters of American Beau- ties. All the lights were shaded with pink flower covers, and the candelabra on the tables also had pink shades. Mrs. Goltra was gowned in a creation of black and white, the upper part of bodice was of white wrought in crystal bugles. The skirt, black, was covered with a Brown, who is considered the beauties of the season, brewn-eyed blonde.

& EEE LT I A TS LT A A A TS Te Le LT eS ‘he Western Becca ena NE en T Is One of the Largest Institutions of Its Kind in the West

The Human Eye Is. the Basis of One of St. Louis’ Great Industries

HE human eye is one of the few things for which science hag not provided a substitute. Man has but two eyes and when their efficiency is destroyed, sight cannot be restored. It therefore behooves man to safeguard his eyes carefully, and the organs of sight can properly be safeguarded only by supplying the eyes with scientific aids. ‘Lenses correctly fitted to the needs of each eye will rest the eyes and thereby prolong their efficiency. Here in St. Louis there is an organ- ization that knows all there is to know about eyes, and which can accurately fit every eye with just the lense that is needed to correct its vision and prolong its life. That organization is the West- ern Optical Manufacturing Co., with a factory occupying seven rooms on the seventh floor of the Holland Building. and a retai] department, known as the Western Optical Co., at 714 Pine street. The company is headed by Otto Bach- mann, its president, who has devoted all of the 17 years of his businegs life to the optical business, and every man con- nected with the concern is an expert in his line. Mr. Bachmann has given h'‘s entire life to the study of the eye and the science of the optician, and he un- derstands every detail of the business. At the age of 14 Mr. Bachmann entered the employ of a St. Louis optical com- pany, and has worked up through every stage of the industry. He has ground lenses, made frames, examined eyes, and done everything in his line. Recognized Asa Lens Expert When the Western Optical Co. was or- ganized, in 1901, Mr. Bachmann, then recognized through the West as a lens expert, went with the concern, and four years later he bought stock in the com- pany. One year ago this month he ac- quired a controlling interest, and was made president. But though he is at the head of the gigantic business, he finds time to give his personal super- vision to the grinding of every special lens, and not a pair of spectacles leaves the Holland Building factory without , his individual inspection and approval. “Few people seem to realize the im- portance of the human eye,” Mr. Bach- mann said. Man has but two eyes, and when they are gone, they are gone for- ever. Scientists have evolved substi- -tutes for almost every bodily function but that of sight. Artificial arms and legs, hands and feet enable maimed men to get about almost as well as they did with those members supplied by nature. Artificial ear drums enable the deaf to hear, and there are men now enjoying life and health without their stomachs, but no scientist has yet made an artifi- cia] eye that can see. “Science, however, has done much for the eye. By means of correctly fitted glass lenses, tired eyes now are rested. Byes with slight faults are made per- _ fect, and by means of these .enses the ‘wear and tear on the eye is reduced, “and its efficiency prolonged. Fitting Is an Exact Science “Kut the proper fitting of these lenses {s no child’s play and no carpenter’s job. It is am exact gcience and might also be called a high art. “Tt is a science, because the man who undertakes to aid nature in the matter of sight must first thoroughly under- stand his subject. He must know all about the eye. He must understand ex- actly how the light rays, passing through that wonderful mechanism of screens, lenses and nerves called the eye, registers on the brain that sensa- tion that we call sight. Knowing this first, he then must know all the ills to which this mechanism is heir. He must understand thoroughly the exact effect on vision that any deviation in the ad- justment of the eye machinery will pro- duce, After he knows all about the eye and the thousand and one things that may happen to interfere with the proper working of it, he must know all about refraction and reflection, the effect of lemaes, concave and convex. In short, the man who attempts to improve the efficiency of the eye must not guess at anything.” That is the keynote of the work of the Western Optical Manufacturing Co. and the secret of its rapid growth and large volume of business. Accuracy—there is no. guess work. Nothing is approxi- mated. Everything is done with exact- ness and with carefui attention to the minutest detail. It is this which has made them their reputation and won them the confidence bestowed on them. That has always been the aim of Otto Bachmann, the head of the organiza- tion, and he so has empressed his indivi- duality upon all those associated with him that itis in effect a one-man shop. Experts in the Entire Business On a careful inspection and observa- tion of the Western Optical Manufactur- ing Co.’s plant, there is one thing that impresses the novice. Every man is an ee 5, ae vw BACHMAN PRES. WESTER OPTLCAL MFG.CO. | expert in the entire business, not just in his own line, as is the case in. most manufacturing establishments. From the refracting opticians in the retail shop down to the last grinders and as- semblers, every man knows every detail of the business. The opticians could go into the factory and’ grind the lenses with the same facility with which they diagnose the ailments of patrons, and with equal skill the grinders could go down into the retail shop and test eyes. However, with all of this knowledge, each man in the factory specializes, and hence is efficient in the highest degree. The company employs a force of 25 men in its factory, and all of them are kept busy. The plant has a capacity of 800 pairs of spectacles and eyeglasses & day, and is worked to capacity. Only a smal] part of its business comes from its own retail department, which is op- erated solely as an accommodation. The bulk of the company’s business is the manufacture of special lenses for retail opticians ail over St. Louis and through- out the Southwest territory. All of the machinery in the factory !s of the most costly and up-to-date type, and so accurately and delicately ad- justed, that an unusual jar of any kind would throw it out of commission. All orders that come to the factory are divided into two general classes: “stock” and “1 special.” So carefully have oculists and opticians studied the eye and its ailments that lenses already ground are kept in stock for a majority of cases. These “stock” lenses are of several] thousand varieties and are kept most carefully catalogued. Where OLE A AI AACS CCIE IT EI ONES IEP ORE tN EP eC nee RIS me.

The Optical Manufacturing Co. uses the trade name ‘‘Wom- co,”’ and Mr. Bachmann takes pride in saying that all. his spectacles are ‘Made - in - St. Louis.’ The company makes «4 speotalty of the Kryptok bifocal lenses, and the ‘“Womco’’ Fingerpiece mountings for eyeglasses. Western

“special” lenses are required, the grind- ers take “stock” lenses that are nearest in contour to.the “special” order and grind them down to fit the prescription. The “raw” lenses come in “crown” and “flint” glass, and are cut in squares, considerably larger than the finished product. " When a prescription for a pair of glasses comes into the factory, whether it be from the company’s own retail de- partment, or from an outside customer, it is carefully inspected by Mr. Bach- mann himself before it is turned over to the grinders. If it calls for “stock” lenses, it is easily filled. An expert goes to the cases containing the thou- sands of lenses, and two that fit the pre- scription are selected. They then are tested with delicate instruments, to see that they are perfect. Lenses Carefully Selected and Tested The lenses finally selected and tested, are turned over to the workmen, The first man puts them in an instrument resembling a telescope, and the exact center is by it determined and marked with a tiny ink spot. A diamond-edged instrument then cuts the lenses to the proper size, either circular or oblong, ag may be desired, and a diamond drill pierces the necessary holes, if they are to be used in rimless mountings,

The lenses then are so adjusted on grindstones that the edges automatical- ly are ground smooth. These grind- stones are of graduated smoothness, and a lens passes over half a dozen of them before it is ready for mounting. When the lens has been cut and drilled and the edges ground, it ther 1s polished with rouge on another wheel, and finally turned over to the assem- bler, who mounts it according to the prescription. When the work has been completed the glasses are returned to Mr. Bachmann, who personally com- pares the lenses with the prescription. All lenses are carried about the factory, from one process to another, in: individ- ual boxes, so that mistakes are impossi- ble. Specially Ground Lenses Are Made Where the prescriptton calls for specially ground lenses, the process is & bit less simple. All combinations of compouad lenses which it is possible to be prescribed by. opticians, no matter what the conditions, are capable of ac- curate fulfillment by the Western’ Op- tical Manufacturing Co., and for each lens prescribed, no matter how un- usual, a brass disc is in stock to grind just that lens.» The company. has thousands of these discs. When a special lens is ordered, the grinder selects a “stock” leng the nearest in contour, S and then selects the prescription. On th ground down... The a machine that rapidly, and emery pl and mixed with water lens. the lens and not injure “holder” is soldered onte especial] wax used for this purpose. The lens is first ground down to proper contour with coarse emery, it then is opaque. Half a dozen of emery, each finer than the grade than are used, until the again is transparent, and the @nal are cut, drilled and assembied., . The Western Optical Manufacturing stuin | Co, uses the trade name “Woemeo,/” and Mr. Bachmann takes pride tm saying that all his spectacles are “Made in St Louis.” The company makes a specialty of the Kryptok bifocal lenses, and the ‘‘Womeco’’ Fingerplece mountings _ eyeglasses, In the retafl store at 714 Pine visi there are three refracting opticians, Oliver Abel, D. C. Bond and Thomas McWay. All of them have been im the business for many,years in St Loula and ‘are well known to the publia The retail department, however, sup plies but a small part of the work done by the Western Optical Manufacturing Co.

SAYS GOD DIRECTED HIM Was Forbidden by Heaven to Land Stricken Crew in U.S. PORTLAND, Me, Dea 8.—Rev. Frank W. Sandferd, leader ef the Holy Ghost and Us Society, was found guilty of causing the death of six persons on board the yacht Coronet, by the jury in the United States District Court today. Sandford will be senténced Dec. 18. The jury was out less then an hour and returned a yerdict ef guilty on each of the six counts. The penalty for each of the offenses is a fine not ex- ceeding $10,000 and imprisonment not ex- ceeding 10 years. Sandford was released on $10,000 bail. When the Government concluded the presentation of evidence Sanfor@ was instructed that he might call witnesses and offer evidence and an argument in his defense. Sandford, who has refused ‘told the Court he had neo evidence to offer. He asked to make a statement. This Judge Hale permitted him to do when court opened today. Having made the affirmation al- lowed to those who object to being sworn and addressing the jurors, Sandford declared that high heaven was watching to see that a fair trial was being given and he felt it was ne each official to give a frank statement of the voyage from his standyoint. He proposed, ‘he said, to embody in his statement seven facts essentia! to the correct understand- ing af the voyage of the Coronet. Destination in God’s Hands. The first that the destination of the Coronet was determined before the wreck of the ship Kingdom took place. It was expected to sail for Hudson Bay, Greeland, etc., he said and all were greatly disappointed at the wreck of the Kingdom off Mud Island, off the coast of Africa. The destination of the Coronet was inchanged by the wreck of the King- dom. This he stated as the second fact. With earnestness Sandford told of his instructions from God to continue, He said: ‘I sajd, ‘Father, what next? What next, now that we have this com- pany on board?’ I received this answer —and I make this statement advisedly, knowing what I am doing—I received this answer: ‘Continue.’ “T understood its meaning to be to go on with the work. It was thoroughly discussed, and finally it was decided to go on with the work which took us to the Far North. “We are disciples of God,” declared Mr. Sandford. ‘If we have not won that medal in the last 18 years, I Gon: t know who has.” Throughout his statement Sandford’s manner was that of a preacher rather than a witness. Mr. Sandford then explained that the destination of the yacht Coronet always was thoroughly discussed by members of the crew, men and women and fre- quently the children's opinion were asked. They prayed over the decision for hours and days, and some times it was weeks before a conglusion was reached. Forbidden ay Visit Us. His ‘‘third fact,’’ which he aomtended was essential, the jury should know was that he had been forbidden by God ‘to visit the countries over which he prayed last year, and this precluded a return to the United States. In this connection Sandford spoke of the faith- fulness of his wife during the 18 years of his “service for the Lord.” The ‘‘fourth fact” for the jurors’ cen- sideration was that he and his people expected to receive an abundance of food from the fishing off the Grand Banks. Fifthly, he continued, they ex- pected to secure an abundant supply ot vegetables and fruits in Newfound- land, but were disappointed, and al he had made 2a mistake in his calcula- tions of the location of the Grand Banks ana sailed past them. It was then that the discontent among his followers began to manifest itself. He prayed to God, he said, and in the end the decision was reached to dis- obey God and turn back. Yacht Was Obedient. That the yacht Coronet has been characterized as having been entirely obedient to the will of God was the sixth contention. In his seventh fact he as- serted that the whole cause and explana- tion of the hardships which came on the Corronet and her crew in the last 40 God’s will in turning voyage to the far North. This dis- cbedience he attributed to the spirit which had been brought aboard by the survivors of the kingdom. In closing Standford said that on the West Coast of Africa they had the greatest manifestation of the goodness of God, which modern man had received. It was when the Af- Trican fever afflicted them. Of the 40 members of the party who were afflicted al! were healed, in some cases instantly, in others it was a matter of hours or days.

Ok., Dec. 9%.—Prohibition that doesn’t prohibit is evidently the brand on tap in Oklahoma. County At- torney Vic S. Decker, recently read a Supreme Court decision, which will cause him to dismiss more than a hun- SST

i dred ‘of the 150 Nquor cages on the County Court docket. The decision is by Judge Armstrong of the Criminal Court of Appeals, who holds that while the possession of an unusual quantity of HNquor may be considered with other evidence charging violation of the pro- hibitory law, the mere possession of in- .toxicants without other proof is not suf- ficient to convict. Every member of the Sapulpa boot- legging fraternity, raided by the of- ficers runs now an excellent chance cof getting out of the difficulty easily and having his liquor restored to him. The man found with no bar, no glasses

merely had two freight car loads of liquor stored in his cellar, is not held culpable. The bootlegger engaged in disposing of spirits, who has a board stretched from barrel to barrel or whe has a suspicious looking ice chest and a bucket of water, is, however, in for it. Heretofore the work of an enforce- ment officer has been simple. He would go to a freight office, await a shipment of lHquor, arrest the person to whom it was consigned, seize the liquor and convict his man, Now it is different.

SCRUGGS STORE TO OPEN A FACTORY ‘ Northwest Corner of Six- ‘teenth Street and Washing- ‘ton Avenue Is Sold for ‘$550,000 to a Client Who ‘Withholds Plans for It. A notable improvement ia discerned in the St. Louis realty market. As in- creasing the scope of St. Louis realty and building operations, the consumma- tion of ‘the Railway Exchange, the Barr Building project, will give a new aspect to the situation in the business center of the city. This great project, which will be a monument to Thomas H. Mc- Kittrick and his confreres, will give this quarter new life and will stem tfie tide toward Washington avenue, which is Menacing Olive street and Broadway. . The benefits accruing are already ob- vious on Olive street. The chief features of the week devel- oped on Olive street and Washington avenue. Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney have acquired a lease of the modern six-story and basement building at the northwest corner of Tenth and Olive streets. The five upper floors will be occupied for light manufacturing purposes, as an ad- Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney store in the Syndicate Trust Buildihg, occupying the half block on the east side of Tenth street, between Olive and Locust streets. The six-story building has a frontage of 55 feet on Olive street, by a depth of 109 feet, con- taining 30,000 square feet floor space. The first floor of the building may be sublet. The building is owned by the Shepley estate, which was represented in the transaction by the agency of Papin & Tontrup, and was formerly occupied by Mills & Averill, a large tailoring es- tablishment, which has removed to the La Salle Building, Broadway and Olive street. The annua] rental paid by Mills & Averill was $20,000. The lease is not- able as reflecting the growth of the Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney Co.. which was recently linked with the chain of stores of Claflin & Co., which predominate in a number of the larger cities. Secured Locust Street Side. The concern also recently secured the Locust street side of. the first floor of the Century Building, which is now being altered for its occupancy. The occupancy, of the Olive and Ninth street sides of the Century Building, is fore- easted, together with the purchase of whe north-south alley intervening be- tween the Syndicate Trust and Century Building. This procedure will give the Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney company the ad- vantages of the entire block, bounded by Ninth, Tenth, Olive and Locusts streets. The Century Theater will not be disturbed by this program, the exe- cution of which, it is said, will be co- incidental with the completion of the American Railway Exchgnge Building, on the Barr Black. _ The location of the new large building of the Laclede Gas Light Co., at Elev- enth and Olive streets, has greatly strengthened the situation in this sec- tion of the city. Washington Avenue Property. The Holbrook-Blackwelder Real Es- tate Trust Co. sold the northwest corner of Sixteenth street and Washington ave- nue to a client whose name will be with- held until the property is transferred. The site has a frontage of 115 feet on Washington avenue by a depth of 132 feet and is improved with an eight-story fire-proof building occupied under 10-year l.ases by the James Clark Leather Co., George W. Perry & Co., and the Stern & Bend Hat Co. The con- Sideration was $550,000. The property “was. héld by a syndicate represented by Thomas Bennett of the Mortgage Guar- antee Trust Co. A number of leases of more or less importance in the business district were recorded. The Walker Furniture Co. acquired a lease of a four-story building at 100 South Twelfth street, the southeast corner of Wainut. The a. 2! Kaime Real Estate Co. effected the lease. The Walker company is now located on the east Side of Twelfth street between Pine and Olive streets. An annual rental of $3600 for the first two years, $4000 for the succeeding two years, and $4500 for the remainder of the term, is provided for in the lease of the which extends for seven years. The property at the northeast cor- ner of Kaston avenue and Francis street, 111x198 feet, and a lot 55x114 Jeet On the north side of Easton av- enue west of Francis street, were sold by John McMenamy and Freda- erick Kaulthald, executor of the George Kaulthald estate, to Michael pont doce for $20,000. The sale was the courthouse to the high- der, and may not be approved | the court, to which it is subject.

11911 GOOD REALTY YEAR DECLARES J. D. DOCKERY

Well Known Operator Takes Optimistic View of Situation and Sites Evidence for His Confidence in City

“With the waning of 1911, a retro- spective glance at the realty field in St. Louis, reveals a generally healthful condition,’’ said James D. Mockery of the firm of John Dockery & Son, yesterday. “In an admittedly dull season through- out the country, extendin; over several years, one is prone to expect a some- what darkened aspect of affairs, but a careful inspection of operations here- abouts discloses a decided, if unosten- tatious, betterment, the more surprising | in its being found in such a period. “This in itself is an excellent com- mentary on the stability and resiliency of realty in St. Louis. The fall just passing has not favored us with the same amount of delightful weather that usually is the gift to this city at this season of the - and this has had a somewhat depYessing tendency on the market, for the bright, crisp» weather of an Indian summer is always an excel- lent tonic for business locally. Apartment House Field Active, “The percentage of vacant property in St. Louis, in comparison with the really large cities of the country, is by no means to our disadvantage. Partic- wlarly is this true of vacancies of the district in which are located the larger- sized flats and where the extraordinary &partment-house operations, - includina parts of the West End and the North and South sides, in the opinion of many persons, have been as great this year as in any of recent periods. Naturally the apartment house is the competitor of the large flat. “Dwelling houses in St. Louis show a comparatively small percentage of vacancies, an added tribute to. our well-deserved and world-wide fame as the greatest of home cities. Within the year, great development has taken place in the West End residence sec- tion, and the march of improvement is now far beyond the limits of the city, extending past Washington Uni- versity to Clayton. Improvements in Business District. “In the business district we find an unheralded, but newertheless substan- tial growth which, to the keen student of affairs, is remarkably gratifying in view of general feeling of dullness. Washington avenue seems to know no diminution in improvement and at Sev- enteenth street we have ready for Christmas the splendid O'Reilly struc- ture for King, Brinsmade Mercantile Co., and on the southwest corner, the magnificent building occupying the for- mer site of Washington University. “From Seventeenth to £Fifteenth streets, the past “year has witnessed much transformation, and there seems to be no abatement in the not to be denied achievements rightfully belong- ing to this great artery of traffic. ‘Locust street has kept pace with Washington avenue and in some re- spects has shown even greater verililty. This is notably so in the Western por- tion which, during 1911, has become as if by magic the Automobile Supply street of this city. “The act joining Locust to Lindell and Olive street at Channing avenue, in a night, worked wonders for Locust street. The cutting through of this connecting roadway will transform the entire vicinity and, Aside from its cilvic benefit, will increase traffic on Olive street, Lindell boulevard, and surround- ing property. . In the Retail District. ‘In the retail district, the end of 1911 has witnessed the consummation of the Barr Block deal, one of excep- tional magnitude and extreme import- ance to downtown St. Louis. “Truly, the year 1911 is a year of un- ostentatious but excellently propor- tioned improvement and betterment. “December has already witnessed roany leases concluded in the downtown district. The T. J. Reid Shoe Co., through Cornet & Zeibig, has taken the only eligible site east of Eighth street on Washington avenue, in the Morrison property, and Washington avenue up to Twelth street is practically a retail thoroughfare. “The fall also witnessed the starting of the new Laclede Gas Light build- ing, at Olive and Eleventh streets, where will be reared an edifice of splen- did poise. “Another notable field of operation this year has been along the belt line in North and West St. Louis, where many large concefns recently have lo- cated. It js befittingly pleasant at this Christmas season to, witness the reha- bilitation of the famous Liggett & Meyers tobacco plant here—a magnifi- cent compliment paid to us by some of the brainiest men in the United States, in recognizing the splendid natural ad- vantages of this city in the reorganiza- tion of the American Tobacco Co. The year also has witnessed the completion of the imposing freight establishments at Broadway and Mullanphy § streets, without doubt the acme of this class >.

Honest Men Tire of Paying As- sessments and Threaten to Quit Business. TULSA, Ok,, Dec. 9.—With the prac- ticability and perpetuity of the bank guarantee @eposit feature of the State banking laws threatened through heavy inroads into the guarantee fund be- cause of the wrecking of a great number of State banks during the past two years, the State Banking Board has found it necessary to take radical steps to protect honest State bankers against unscrupulous machinations of buccan- eers. Consequently, the State hag cre- ated the office of Special Prosecutor to the Banking Board, whose duty it is to investigate all failures of State finan- cial institutions. ~Lemuel M. Lane of this city, at one time prosecuting attorney of Nodaway County, Mo., has been named for the place and, very soon, it i? expected, some startling developments incidental to the failure of a group of State banks will be brought to light through his efforts. Lane has been hard working on specific cases for more than two weeks. His plan is to work in con- junction with Isaac P. Crow, a State bank examiner and himself a very able attorney. Named for the Place. The great difficulty in bringing crook- ed State bankers to justice in Okla- homa is that under the deposit guar- antee law all depositors of -failed in- stitutions are paid in full, and it is dif- ficult to work up sentiment An a com- munity sufficient to effect a successful prosecution. Honest State bankers, who have been called upon time and again to con- tribute to the depleted guarantee fund owing to such failures, have been de- manding that the dishonest members of their fraternity be brought to jus- ice, just as the Federal Government makes a crooked national banker pay penalty for his misdoings. Probably the State Banking Board, however anxious it. might have been to put an end to reckless banking under the guarantee law, would not have un- undertaken special prosecution of such cases except for the fact that numer- ous and heavy special assessments to bolster up the gaurantee fund, during the present year, has caused scores of strong State banks. to give up their charters and nationalize. Early in the year, within a few weeks after the State Bank Board had made its last special assessment for the guarantee fund, 60 State banks nationalized within a few days. The next bank statement showed a great decrease in the assets of State banks and wonderful growth and prosperity of national banks. _Friends of Law Frightened. Members of the State Banking Board and friends of the guarantee system became alarmed. They saw that the guarantee system was a great incentive tc dishonest banking, just as opponents of the law had pointed out that it would be. They also saw that unless every dishonest banker was brought to justice every honest State banker would be forced either to quit business or nation- aulize his bank. Within the last few weeks, however, there has been a check in the move- ment from State to national charters and a recent bank statement showed a

contains much useful information. very healthy condition of State banks. The guarantee fund is in unsatisfactory condition and a bank failure at this time would probably force another spe- cial assessment. For this reason the State Banking Board proposes to ‘“‘throw a scare’ into any banking organization which may be planning to fail with pockets full. Oklahoma City Mulcted Fund. Of approximately $1,300,000 paid to de- positors of defunct banks, $1,000,000 has been paid in Oklahoma City. The fail- ure of the Columbia Bank and Trust Co. there 18 months ago was the severest blow the guarantee fund has received. A grand jury investigation into that fail- ure was suspended and’the light has not been let into it yet. Other large banks that have failed and which cost the guarantee fund heavily were the Oklahoma Banking Co. of Muskogee and Creek Banking and Trust Co. of Sapulpa. The bank guarantee may be the best thing that could be devised for bank depositors,- next to the Postal Savings Bank, but the bankers who are com- | elled under the State law to take stock in it and become the ‘“‘goat,”’ declare it is a veritable nightmare uniess banking laws are made so rigid that only per- sons of proved honesty and ample means will be permitted to take out a State charter to engage in the banking busi- ness. The next Legislature will have to wrestle with its banking laws harder even that it did when the deposit guar- antee plan was first adopted.

m -

Utterances of Layman Evangelist Smith, Branding St. Louis as Loose and Immorai City HAVE heard in other cities of the reputation of St. Louis for loose and immoral living. Men expect their wives and daughters to be pure, but they themselves are not pure. And some of the women are not much better. It is a frightful condition of affairs. No city is worse cursed than is St. Louis ‘with 5¢ and 10c shows. It is a shamé and disgrace. The gheap picture show chaser might as well shoot himself, for all he will ever amount to. , e _ & * The siciliaeds ditties sung in some churches send a man away with a bad taste in his mouth, The church must fight the white slave traffic. If the facts 4 about some churchmen were known. n, some churches would be’ disrupted. . Ministers jump at a marriage fee as a waiter jumps at a tip. There should be no taking of fees by ministers. Their salaries should be such as to make fees unnecessary.

NO WORSE THAN OTHER BIG CITIES, ALL AGREE

Charges Wild, Not Justified by Facts and Spoken Without Investigation, Are Some of the Refutations Made by St. Louisans.

; Startling declarations made by Fred B. Smith, leader of the Men and Religion Forward Move- ment, during his brief stay in St. Louis, have caused much discussion throughout the city. Some of the remarks are about St. Louis in particular, and the others have a general application to this ofty. Smith's assertion that St. Louis has a reputation in other places for the loose and immoral lives of many of its people, and his attack on 5 and 10 cent’shows as a degrading influence, from “which St. Louis suffers more than any other wity, have attracted especial attention. Most of the commient on these utterances has been unfavorable either to Smith’s sources of information or bis powers of observation. ’ Smith was asked by a Post-Dispatch reporter the source of his information. He said his state- ments were based on “circumstantial evidence and hearsay testimony.” '> “I am a stranger in St. Louis and have no per- gonal knowledge of conditions,” he said. “I have heard about the loose morals of St. Louis in ‘various places as I have traveled about the coun- try. In some instances I have asked friends about @ertain specific conditions, and I have accepted their answers as correct. I believe that my state- Ments are true. In some of my general state- ments, the reference is to other cities of which I] have more intimate knowledge.” _~ Post-Dispatch repofters questioned a number of Bt. Loulisans, including persons prominent in church and civic affairs, about the most radical of Smith's declarations, asking each to discuss Whose paragraphs which most interested him or her. The interviews obtained were as follows: MAYOR EREISMANN, _ To give the opinion of one who does not hold ‘himself out as a prude, I will say that I do not “@onsider the morals of St. Louis as bad as_ those ot other cities. There is an air of decency and : ess among men in public places here that fe far superior to that of some cities. I think the statement is too broad to be *fair. * Perhaps St. Louis has too many cheap picture oe But how are you going to keep people ‘Away from them? — +» Concerning the “ragtime ditties,” I can only 3 that there is no ragtime in the songbooks at the church I attend. -. I must express my feelings that a man who is intempérate in his language as Mr. Smith can- do a great deal of good for the Men and Re- Forward Movement. CIRCUIT ATTORNEY JONES. r. Smith is just indulging in a tirade, which based on facts. I would like to know of one white slave case, just one, that Mr. Smith I don’t think found hank ve for the pic- have attended fifteen or twenty it never saw a sug- have studied conditions here, and I have had a chance to compare this city with others, and have found the comparison very favorable to St. Louis. Our picture shows are under constant police cen- sorship, and we can’t find anything indecent about them. We have had trouble with card venders and penn? picture machines, and occasionally make an arrest in such a case. We welcome any help the churches can give us in correcting any- thing which has vicious tendencies, and which we haye laws to deal with. The white slave traffic doesn’t exist here, and there is no use talking about it unless there is some evidence of at least one case which could be so called. CIRCUIT JUDGE FISHER. 1 have no desire to controvert Mr. Smith’s state- ments, but my 45 years’ experiénce at the bar and on the bench has convinced me that St. Louis is about as moral as any big city. As for ragtime music, I hear none of it sung in Pilgrim Con- gregational’ Church, which I attend. CIRCUIT JUDGE GRIMM. As to the moral tone of St. Louis, I feel that Mr. Smith must have been- misinformed. The morals of St. Louis are as good as those of other cities, and perhaps better. Sacred music is still sung in the church with which’I am most fa- miliar. JOHN H. GUNDLACH, President of City Oouncil. St. Louis is morally much better than the aver- age, and some people say it is too good. Moving picture shows might develop a mania for that sort of thing among, children, and in that way it would have a bad influence. The shows, when kept to a high standard, have educational worth. I do not attend church often, bet when I do I find the music good. MRS. W. A, M’CANDLESS. 5056 Westminster Place. I. do not believe that the morals of St. Louis are worse than in-other large cfties, but there is more than enough immorality here. I am in- tensely interested in this question and would like to see a movement started that would do away with some of the existing conditions. We have not reached the point yet where an adequate method has been formulated to, deal with this question generally. I perfectly agree with Mr. Smith when he says that one frequently feels like a fool after singing; some of the “ragtime ditties” in church - books. It seems to me that many of the churches)

OE ; sae aeuse \ cqocoecsesooeosesoeooesooueoneebes are getting away from the dignified and worship- ful -niusic of former years. Some of the hymns appear to appeal to the spectacular rather than the sublime and sacred. I have two boys, and I frequently accompany them to picture theaters. I find that the boys enjoy the pictures of merit, and are quick to critt- cise the tums which do not tell a wholesome story. The cheapness.appeals to girls and young men, and affords them entertainment and pleas- ure. These shows give an opportunity to many to pass evenings of harmless amusemert, but the shows should be kept. up to a fixed standard. F. P; CRUNDEN, President of the City Club. I think St. Louis is one of the best and cleanest cities in the United States, instead of the worst. I did not hear his address, but if he has been correctly quoted he is wrong. I do not think St. Louis has any nation-wide reputation for loose living. So far as I know, St. Louis has no more nickel shows than other large cities, and I am sure the films here are not bad in character. PERCY WEENEE, Vice-President of the Society of Social Hygiene. I do not care to answer Mr. Smith, for I am not sure what He said, or exactly what he meant. But» my observations of St. Louis morals have not shoWn me anything to justify the harsh things that Mr. Smith has been quoted as saying. In- stead of St. Louis being the worst ever, I think this city is better than the pet or, at least, no worse. THE REV. W. J. M’KITTRICK, President Evan- gelical Alliance, There is immorality in all cities. St.” Louis’ morals are loose to some extent, but I do not believe that’St. Louis suffers comparison with other large cities in tne matter of morals. churches here are continually working for ditions, and that it should be kept up In my opinion, most moving picture shows an influence for good.

VS (TS. AUTHOR Declares the Statute Is Suf- ficient to Present Needs— Suits Hit Stockholders + While Promoters Should Be Made to Suffer Its Pen- alties. > . = PLANNED AS REMEDY; REVIEWS BEGINNING Former Senator From Ver- mont Reviews the Incep- tion and Making of Its Pro- visions and Explains the Reforms It Was Intended to Bring About. { ¢" have changed, and °8 ‘the greatest of the law- breakers have found that the hand of justice is too strong for them,” writes former United States Senator George F. Edmunds of Ver- mont, in a lucid article in the December number of the North American Review. his @ubject ‘being the so-called Sherman anti-trust law. In a foreword by the editor it is shown by conclusive evidence that Sen- ator Edmunds himself is the author of the law, or of the main features of it and not John Sherman of Ohio, undér whose name it goes. Senator Edmunds wrote thé first, second, third, fifth and gixth* sections in their entirety. * Senator George of Mississippi rewrote Section 4 from Senator Sherman's original draft. Senator Hoar of Massa- chusetts rewrote from the original Sher- man draft of Section 7.° Senator Ingalls of Kansas wrote Section 8, which mere- ly defines that the word “person,” or “persons,” used in the act shall be deemed to include corporations and as- sociations. — | Chairman of Committee Approving of Bill. Senator Hdmunds, now in his eighty- fourth year, resigned from the Senate in 1891 after serving 23 years. He was chairman of the Judiciary Committee, to which were referred Sherman's araft of a proposed anti-trust law and several similar measures and various amend- ments. Sherman’s draft was discarded, except the enacting clause, and Chair- man Edmunds, with the aid of the other members of his committee named above, created the “Sherman anti-trust law” as it stands today upon the Fed- eral statute books. It passed the Sen- ate with only one dissenting vote, that of the late Rufus Blodgett of Long Branch, N. J., who was a railroad president, and went through the House ‘by unanimous vote. President Harrison approved the act July 2, 1890, and for nearly 21 years it has been a, Federal law. | | ~ In discussing the import and intent of the measure the aged former Senator says that “both houses of Congress unanimously (with the exception of one vote in the Senate) agreed that to secure freedom and equality and protection for the commérce that the Constitution had authorized Congress to regulate, the safest and surest way was to denounce @isturbance of It in the simplest and all-embracing terms, without qualifica- tion or exception—fair play and justice for all, favors for none.” Urges Penal Provisions of Law Be Enforced. It is of nation-wide interest just now, when present members of Congress are denying the efficacy of the Sherman law and proposing new statutes to deal with the trust problem, to note that Senator Edmunds, the author of the law's salient features, expresses in ef- fect the belief that this statute, if en- forced, is sufficient to curb combinations in restraint of trade. He urges that the penal provisions of the law be enforced.

The fear that some literal construction of the high prices for grinding, in order to Pay their employes fair wages and combine, one mill doing all the grind-. ing of grain and the other sawing lum- ber, that is not a contract in restrains of trade. “Common sense says no.

The proper amount to take is a tea- spoonful after meals and at bedtime. These ingredients may be obtained from any druggist at small cost, and make a combination that is not only excellent as a fat reducer, being able, it 18 claimed, to take off a pound a day without causing wrinkles, but is also a splendid help to the system as a whole, regulating the stomach and bowels (where the fat person’s trou- bles begin), and clearing the skin’ of pimples and blotches. No exercise is required to help the remedy in its work and, best of all, no dieting is necessary while taking it—you can eat what you like.—ADY.

It is the contracting or conspir- ing and the monopoly that are vicious, and not the subjects of them, as the re. cent decisions of the Supreme Court indicated.”’ ° Senator Edmunds says that “for sev- eral years following the passage of the act it seemed as if the Department of Justice doubted its constitutiondlity or was unable to find evidence of constant and increasing violations of it. Those engaged in and profiting by schemes to dominate and monopolize trade went boldly on. Others followed the bad ex- ample until much of almost every busi- ness of the country came to be carried on and controlled by combinations mak- ing war upon thosé who could, not or would not come into the conspiracies,

The evils are great and the remedies must be ap- plied.” The writer denies that “business inter- ests’’ will be disturbed and upset if the act is fully enforced. He points out that if the great combinations now crushing out the smaller business interests must suffer, it is the consequence of their évil doing, “and. every honest and fair en- terprise will survive for the good of all. Wealth and power justly used are a beneficence to all. Capital is essential! to the beginnings and conduct of large enterprises, but it is absolutely useless without the ce-operation of willing labor, while without it labor can have little employment and little ‘compensation. Neither can prosper without the other.”’ Senator Bdmunds closes his argument with these optimistic words: ‘‘Large operations need not destroy the small, and real progress and prosperity will bless the commonwealth, The cynic will say that this is visionary; but if so, it has been at some periods a fact. It can be made so again by patience, per- sistence and justice.”’

Mother Searching for Georgia Hurst. Mrs. Mary Hurst, a widow of Ham- burg, Io., has written the Post-Dispatch for help in finding her daughter, Georgia Hurst, 14 years old. She says the girl ran away from her grandmother’s home in Dayenport, Io. The girl may be known, the mother says, by the fact that the last two fingers of her right hand are stiff. !

This is the story of one who knows: “I should have taken better care of myself, I suppose. I was sick, suffering and despondent. No one but a woman who has suffered as I have can ever know how terrible was my suffering. I was irritable, nervous and could not be to my husband the loving, carefree, pleasant dispositioned wife that I once was, “He tried very hard to persuade me to make some effort to throw off this hor- rible affliction that was fast robbing me of a loving husband, friends, health and all that ie worth living for, but in vain, I now see that I am al! to blame. We drifted apart. He sought his pleasures elsewhere, at the club, the theater, at his office. He left me alone to nurse my accumulating self-inflicted sorrow. F'i- nally there was nothing but the divorce court that could settle our differences.”’ This is the sad story of so many, many women who have passed through the ordeal of the divorce court, as well as the countless thousands of deserted wives who are nof divorced. know, down deep in their hearts, was the rea) cause of their trouble.

Wife of Head of Bureau of American Republics Lectures ; in St. Louis.

The daughter of one of the argonauts who crossed the plains by ox, team in quest of California’s golden fleece, Mrs. Harriet Chalmers Adams, who lectured in St. Louis last week, is famous as the most interpid woman explorer in the world. She is the wife of Franklin Adams, editor of the Bulletin of the In- ternational Bureau of American Repub- lics. She addressed St. Thursday afternoon on gonia to Paraguay,” and an audience of teachers Friday night at Central High School on ‘“‘The Andean Wonderland.” It is her proud record that, within the last three years, she has traveled so many miles on horseback, on foot and by canoe, in the unfamiliar hinterlands of the earth, that she has lost count of the total distance. Her adventures have made her celebrated as a writer, lecturer and traveler. » Has Circled South America. A spirit which was an inheritance caused Mrs. Adams ft listen to the call of strange places and .distant ports. With her husband she encircled the en- tire South American continent, travers- ing Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Patagonia, the ‘Argentine Republic, Brazil, Guiana, Venezuela and other countries, besides Mexico, Panama and the West Indies. She and her husband achieved a sad- die trip of 1000 mfles across the Andes, crossing the -great chain: of ‘the Cor- Louis students dillera at an altitude of 17,000 feet above sea level. At this height they were caught in qa driving blizzard on the shoulders of Mount Mystic. Mrs. Adams Saved herself from freezing by creeping into the midst of a herd of llamas. She pillowed her face in the warm fur of one animal and sheltered her feet un- der the body of another. Long Trip Alone. Mrs. Adams was the first woman to make the journey alone along the coast from the Amazon river to Cayenne, French Guiana. She employed a cattle boat. With Mr. Adams she spent three months in the forests with the Indians and Bosch negroes, known as the wild | negroes of the bush. They explored the Orinoco river in a launch. In Peru they visited Cuzco, ancient seat of the Incas, hands of Pizarro. They rode over the mountains by the great highway built | by the Peruvians centuries ago. On one of their trips, the mule car-/ rying the wardrobe of the travelers fell into a abyss 1000 feet deep. Mrs. Adams reached the next stopping place in the suit of a mimes manager, the underclothes of a mining engineer and the blouse of a superintendent of mines. Achieves Scientific Fame. The scientific fame of Mrs. Adams, one of the three only women ever invited to address the Royal Geographical So- ciety, rests upon her discovery in San

Domingo of five rare specimens of the solenodon, the ancestor, until then be- lieved extinct, of the rodent family. Three of these were presented to the Eronx Park in New York and the oth- ers to a zoological garden in Washing-} ton, which is her home. Mrs. Adams possesses rare and curious Gata concerning the countries she has v'sited, and purposes .to embody it in a book of travels. lectures with stereopticon views and rz oving pictures taken by herself. WEBSTER GROVES IN FREE EXPRESS ZONE Board of Railroad and Ware- house Commissioners Issues Order. A copy of an order directing the Unit- ed States Express Co. to give free col- fection and delivery service to citizens of Webster Groves, was received Satur- day by H. W. Belding, Police Magis- trate of St. Louis County’s “model city.’’ Judge Belding originated the petition which was signed by many Webster Groves residents and sent te the Mis- souri Board of Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners about three months ago. Webster Groves has been incorporated 16 years and has a population of 8000. The statutes demand that free collection and delivery service be supplied in every eity which has more than 1000 inhab- itants. The Wells Fargo Express Co., which is the only other company having an of- fice in Webster Groves, voluntarily sup- rlied the free service several weeks ago. Judge Belding says Chairman Oglesby of the Railroad and Warehouse Board believes the United States company will fight the order.

Club 8- _ Hour Day Is the Price of Industrial Peace. UNDERPAY CRIME CAUSE He Closes Two-Hour Aadress With Defense of the 2,400,- 000 Working Women. Raymond Robins, a Chicago soci- ologist, at a luncheon yesterday told the City Club that an eight-hour day is the price of industrial peace and there never would be a lasting truce between labor and capital until reasonable hours were assured to the working men and women of America. Robins, who is one of the Men and Religion Forward Movement workers, spoke for two hours on “Or~ ganized Labor.” He said that the unions asked many things for the betterment of labor, but the eight-hour day was the principal de- mand of all unions and would be de- manded until it was granted in every trade. Robins asserted that the vice and crime of the world today is largely the result of the overwork and underpay of workers. He declared employers were responsible, but that there can be no improvement of conditions except through labor unions. Working Women Not Invaders, The speaker talked on almost every phase of the capital-and-labor problem, but ignored the confessions of the Mc- Namaras. He closed his remarks with a defense of working women. He said: “There are in America today 2,400,000 working women, and it is a mistake to say they have invaded manufacture and trade. They have invaded. nothing. They simply have followed their work from their homes to the factory. The making of garments, hats and such things that formerly was done by wom- en at home now is done in factories, and that is why women are there.” Drumm Addresses Men's Meeting. Yesterday morning the Men and Re- ligion Forward Movement campaign was continued at a boys’ conférence at the First Presbyterian Church, Sarah street and Washington avenue. At noon, Charles R. Drumm addressed the usual men’s meeting. at the Garrick Theater and the regular conference community extension meetings were held in eleven shops and factories. At 2 o’clock there was a boys’ con- ference at the Central Y. M. C. A., Grand and Franklin avenues, and at 2:30 there was a “United Institute on Interchurch Activities’’ at Centerary Methodist Episcopal Church, Sixteenth and Pine streets. At 6 p. m. there was a luncheon for boys at the Y. M. C. A., addressed by the Rev. C. A. Barbour. Last Night’s Meetings. Last night there was a conference of the community extension committee- men and feam experts, and at 8 o’clock district meetings were held as follows: Third Baptist Church, Grand and Wash- ington avenues, John L.

Gale, who was arrested Sept. 10 in his room at 1136 North Broad- way after he had stabbed Charles Hainey six times, has been discharged from custody because of the failure of Hainey to appear to prosecute him. /Gale spent three weeks in a hospital aad two months in jail pending a trial. After his release Gale told. a Post- Dispatch reporter that he had evidence ready to prove in court that. he acted in self defense, and that Hainey and his companion, Reux Russell, were un-: solicited guests in his room at the ‘| time they attacked him, Gale said the men entered his room at l‘a. m. and awoke him by throwing a disinfectant in his fact. When he grabbed his clothing and attempted to escape, the men knocked him down and beat him, Gale déclared. In the struggle Gale got his knife from his pocket and stabbed Hainey, and a+ soon as he could get to a window he called the police, he said.

THIS PICTURE SHOWS AN UNUSUAL QUANTITY ON THE FLOOR AT ONE TIME, READY FOR SALE—AMOUNTING TO CONSIDERABLY OVER $300,000.00. Nearly $20,000,000.00 Will Be Paid to Trappers During This Season The. Greatest Purchasing Power for Furs in the World Is Represented at the Funsten Bros. & Co. Fur Saies Funsten Bros. & Co. Have Built Up the Largest Raw Fur Business in the World and They Have Made St. Louis the Largest Market A FTER a careful calculation Funsten Bros. & Co. estimate there will be nearly $20,000,000.00 paid to trappers this season. St. Louis is today the largest primary fur market * in the warld. So great has been the growth of the fur business in St. Louis that the house of Funsten Bros. & Co., which is the largest in the world in its‘line, sells more furs a week than all of the trading companies in the early days collected in a year. The operations of this house have extended to every State in’ ‘the United States, every Province in Canada and all parts of Alaska. It is one of the big institutions of St. Louis that has active commercial intercourse with every part of North America almost evéry day. This great business is carried on entirely by mail. The company has no traveling buyers. It sends out price lists to trappers and fur shippers all. over this great country by the millions. Trappers by the tens of thousands from the most remote parts of North America send their trophies to this remarkable St. Louis. insti- tution. They are in constant and intimate correspondence with between 700,000 and 800,000 trappers and shippers of raw furs all over the world, and from 6000 to 8000 letters are received every day at the offices of the company on Second and Elm streets, in St. Louls, Every mechanical aid to the facilitating of business is employed. A multigraph machine prints and signs letters at the rate of 5000 let- ters per hour. It is run by electricity and is used mainly for sending out letters, in response to inquiries, for the dissemination of general fur information. Letters and circulars are folded and made ready for mailing by machinery. A stamping and mailing machine seals and stamps letters at the rate of 150 per minute. | * ps eset Funsten Bros. &.Co. are one of the largest, if not the largest, users © Noha fa Gaia! are of the mail in St. Louis. This firm sends through the St. Louis Post- OC rae ao office about two to three million pieces of mail per month during their busy season. Private wagons carry mail from the offices of Funsten Bros. & Co. night and day so their may be no delay in getting letters started on thelr way to the men at the traps and at the shipping points. Their one consideration is the trapper and the shipper of furs. Funsten Bros. & Co. conduct a regular Trappers’ Supply Department for the accommodation of trappers. They sell more traps direct to trappers than any other house in the world. This enterprising firm was the first to discover the importance of artificial baits for trapping, with the result that about ten years ago they put on the market, for the use of trappers, the now famous FUNSTEN ANIMAL BAITS. Their time and labor-saving devices for, grading the thousands of shipments they receive are their own invention. They have the largest adding machine ever built. It adds thirty-three columns of figures at one time on the same or different sheets. This machine is operated by one man and does the work of six men, H.

THREE SILVER FOX SKINS SHIPPED FROM ALASKA. THESE THREE SKINS SOLD FOR $3000.00 A. M. AHERN, Secretary. y which, at a salary for each man of $1000, means a net saying of about $5000 per year, all of which is added to the returns they give to shippers. “More money to the fur shippers” is their slogan—and this is the secret of the wonderful success of Funsten Bros. & Co. It is the dominant note throughout the institution. To do better for the fur Shippers of America than any other house can—to handle furs at lower cost—to sell for more money—to make it PAY the BUYER to PAY Funsten Bros. & Co. more. They have no contracts with shippers—they have only one argument to get shipments—It is they can send more money for shipped furs. Their idea: “Handling an immense volume of furs at a small margin of profit” has built up Funsten Bros. & Co., because it means “more money to the fur shippers.” The fur reports issued by FUNSTEN BROS. & CO. are considered the standard of values. And while the company makes a specialty of handling only North American furs, their fur reports ate .requested from all parts of the world. The prices issued by FUNSTEN BROS. & CO. at the beginning of season usually act as the standard of values for all parts of America, and largely influence European ‘Markets. This is due to the fact that over 60 per cent of the furs trapped in North America come direct to St. Louis from trapping sections—and, as FUNSTEN BROS. & CO. of St. Louis handle the big majority of the furs that come to St. Louis, it is easy to see why they wield such a big influence in the fur trade of the world, There are perhaps over a million people in North America who are engaged or interested in trapping or buying raw furs. FUNSTEN BROS. & CO: own and control the Funsten Fur Ex- change, which is a magnificent building erected especially for the sell- ing of Funsten Furs. The ceiling of the selling floor is about 40 ft. high, with a double glass roof, giving a perfect diffused daylight in every part of the floor. A large balcony is provided for visitors to watch the great fur sales that take place every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday throughout the fur season on the Funsten Fur BEx- change. It is open to the public and everyone is invited to attend the sales, which start at 10 o’clock in the morning and usually last till about 4 in the afternoon. It is interesting to see the throng of buyers bidding in’ hot competition for the thqusands of rich and beautiful pelts that come 'to FUNSTEN BROS. & CO. from all parts of North America. Sales of this firm fun way up into the millions, and manu facturers and representatives of all the big manufacturers almost throughout the world are represented at the regular Funsten Auction Sales at St. Louis at the Funsten Fur Exchange. These buyers are furnished with the noon meal at the expense of the firm in their own _cafe in the building. These buyers have all they want to eat, drink and smoke. All they have to do is bid on furs—and they do it. Funsten Bros. & Co. send a Trapper’s Supply Catalog, Trapper’s Guide and Game ‘Laws, illustrated instructions for preparing furs for market—all FREE for the asking. Their Trapper’s Guide gives many valuable suggestions on trapping—tells the kind of baits to use— where and how to get traps. In fact, everything to make trapping easy, successful and profitable to the trapper. There are many old experienced and expert trappers throughout this great country, and there are also many thousands of men who begin trapping for the first’time each year. All of the information for trappers is prepared by men of experience, who are experts in their line- They give, for nothing, the. benefit of the best knowledge in the trapping world, furnish baits, traps and other outfits at the lowest possible selling costs. They tell you where and how you ¢an trap the animals—tell you how to skin the animals and prepare the furs for market. And they tell you how to get the MOST MONEY out of them. Funsten Bros. & Co. is the link that stands between the trapper of ‘North America and the maufacturer. Furs go direct from trapping sections through Funsten Bros. & Co. to the manufacturer and consumer, as nearly direct as the nature of the fur business will ever permit. European countries consume a large per- centage of American furs, and buyers come to this Market from all parts of the world for their supply of American furs, because St. Louis is the largest market on the American continent, Funsten Bros. & Co. conduct their large auction sales of raw furs throughout the fur seagon, from the " . first of November until the first of May, every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday during that time.\ The furs are sold on sealed bids and there is always a large attendance of buyers at the Funsten sales, because the largest quantities and best assortments of North American furs are sold by Funsten Bros, & Co. in St. Louts, * Rik CR Reg 7 r aes fess + a ass ee * i= N cies Ba a et all ths AG NB Mei tie si tig dine oe the Sy .

But the chief partner in the firm for which Jules worked told him that he must find another position. And on that same day the doctor told Marguerite that she had nursed her father so well he probably would live another 10 years. So she would be 67 years old_before she could marry. She shudde at the thought, and felt a pang of shame, and then—she lost all hope. And if Jules and Denis had waited enly ta few hours longer they at last could have seen th; way to happiness in mar- riage after their years ot true devotion to their parents. For soon after the discovery of Jules’ death it was found that his mother had died in her sleep in the filght. Mar- guerite’s father was found soon after her death in a coHapse indicating that his days were few. He is 8. When -he looked up at neighbors who went to him after the finding of his daughter’s body, they could not tell him the news, and he could not understand why his daugh- ter had not brought his morning choco- late to him as usual. Servants must look after him now. 7; TINY WATCH SET IN A PEARL, PRICE $6000 Swiss Maker 15 Months Fitting Timepiece in Case Size of Setting for a Ring.

BY CONGRESSMEN Dies of Texas, and Trebble of . Georgia Decry $60, 000,000 Increase,

PARTIES CALLED COWARDS Southerners Declare Fear of Election Causes Passage of Bills.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Representa- tives Samuel J. Tribble of Georgia and Martin Dies of Texas vigorously at- tacked the Sherwood pension bill in the House today. Mr. Dies denounced the bill as ‘‘an at- tempted campaign contribution of near- ly $60,000,000. He said there was cow- ardice in both parties, as advocates of the measure feared to vote against the bill because of the possible effect on election. — Mr. Tribble said the South had con- tributed to Union soldiers pensions with- out protest in the past, but the time had come for all sections to object to further increases. “The Democratic House cut its ex- penses $186,000,"’ said Mr. Tribble, ‘‘and now proposes in one act to add nearly $60,000,000 to the pension rolls.” “I think decapitation for a good many cowardly statesmen would do the repub- lic good,’’ declared Mr. Dies. He told members to go back ‘to their districts and tell their constituents that legisla- tion is a “game of buncomb.”’ “Somebody’s got to be brave enougn to risk his hide to stop some of the nefarious legislation,’’ he added. “If President Taft decides to veto the Sher- wood bill, I say:. ‘More strength to his arm)!’ ”’ 280 LIVES BEGAN, 201 ENDED HERE IN THE LAST WEEK Tuberculosis Principal Cause of Death Reported by City Health Department. The weekly report of the Health Department shows 280 births and 201 deaths. Both figures are below those of the previous week, the record for that week showing 285 births and 311 deaths. The absence of homicides is an un- usual feature of the week’s report and the suicides, reported are three less than the number reported last week, There were eight accidental deaths, three more than last week. The violent deaths geported are as follows: Suicides, four; eight. Tuberculosis made a large gain in the mmber of victims in the week, 21 succumbing’ to that disease as against only six the previous week. Pneumonia cauged nine deaths less than last week, the record showing 22 this week as against 31 last week. NATIONAL PARK IN COLORADO PROPOSED Congress Must First Appropriate Money for the Necessary Surveys. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—The estab- lishment of a national park in Colorado, totally different in Cnaracter, it is said, from any existing park and much closer to the center of population than any of the present reservations, is recom- mended in a number of Jetters received by Secretary of the Interior Fisher. ‘The general idea of having: a large park at or near the place proposed ap- peals to me'rsonally,” said Secretary Fisher today,” wut before such action is taken it would be necessary to have an examination made of the territory. Therefore, it would be necessary to sub- mit the matter to Congress, as the de- partment has no available money even for. the survey.” The park as proposed would include an area of about 600,000 acres. Portions of Grarid, Jackson, Laramie and Boul- der counties would be included, and the park would take in Long’s Peak, Grand Lake and the canyons of the big Thompson River.

MAMMOTH SPRING, Ark., Dec. 2 Every time I come to town The boys keep kickin’ my dog around; } Makes no difference hound, They got to quit kickin’ my dog around. : When City Marshal pro tem Ross Denton, mere substitute for Marshal “Bill” Maguffee, heard a Saturday post- midnight choir singing this anicent and most popular of Ozark hills folk songs in H. W. States’ drug store, he came to a full stop out in front, horrified be- yond expression. Forth from the back end of the pharmacy came the reson- ant raucous, rollicking song: Every time I come to town | The boys keep kickin’ my dog There's only the one stanza to the song, and the trick is to keep repeating it till you’re run in by the marshal or fall in a faint from vocal exhaustion. Marshal pro tem Denton, aware that it was nigh upon the time when the Sun- day church bells were to ring, held in his keeping while dressed in his little brief authority the reputation of Mam- if he is a moth Spring for Sabbath observation. | He must do his duty. As the late John Hay said of the late Jim Bludso. ‘‘He Prescription that Soon Knocks Rheumatism The only logical treatment for rheumatism is #rough the blood. The poisons that settle in muscles, joints and .back, causing.severe pain, mist be dissolved and expelled from the system or there can be no re- Hef. This prescription from a noted doctor is said to. be working won- ders all over the country. Hundreds of the worst cases were cured by it here last winter. “From your druggist get one ounce of Toris com- pound (in original sealed package) and one ounce of syrup of Sarsa- parilla compound. Take ‘these two ingredients home and put them into a half pint of good whiskey. Shake the bottle and take a tablespoonful before each meal and at bed time.” Results come the first day. If your druggist does not have Toris com- pound in stock he: will get it in a few hours from his wholesale house. Don’t be influenced to take some patent medicine instead of this. In- sist on haying the genuine Toris compound in the original, one ounce, sealed, yellow package.—ADV. | seen his duty, a dead sure thing, and went for it thar and then.” Singing at Topnotc. The Marshal pro tem. stepped into States’ drug store. Here, to his amaze ment and sorrow, he beheld no loss than six, half a dozen, o* the prominent . citizens of the town over which he was sole watch and ward, standing'in a cir- cle and singing at the top notch of their voices: Every time I come to town The boys keep. kickin’ around. “Hey, boys,”’ tem., “If you fellers’ill come out here in the street and sing that there song I'll give you $6.” “Sure we'll come outside and sing it,”’ responded T. A. Sharp, chorus leader, deputy sheriff and United States cat- tle inspector. ‘“‘We can use that % to have our voices filed down.” So the semi-dozen songsters walked forth into the clear post-midnight air and gave forth in vast, vociferous volume the mellifluous melody that for generations has cheered the Ozarker to deeds of daring: Every time I come to town The boys keep kickin’ around; Makes no difference if he is hound, They got to quit .kickin’ my dog around. “Gentlemen,” quietly, but firmly re- marked Marshal pro tem. Denton, “I arrest you in the name of the State of Arkansas and the City of Mammoth Spring.”’ | ‘Hey? What’s the charge?’ inquired H. C. Weller, general merchant of the town. “Boys, sing up!” Every time I come to— ‘‘No more o’ that, now!’’ commanded the pro tem. “Come right along to the calaboose.”’ Tinware Man in the Din. “But where’s our $5?” demanded T. T. Rowden, hardware merchant, “and, Ross, what’s the charge?’’ ‘“‘Never you worry,’’ returned Pro tem. Denton. ‘“‘His Honor the mayor’ll give my dog my doxz costs, maybe. the Sabbath day, that’s what.’’ Mammoth Spring turned out en masse three already mentioned and S. I. Hyn- son, telegraph operator, John F. Hunt, grocer, and J. C. Neilsen, tarmer, ap- peared before the Mayor yesterday to answer to a charge of breaking the Sabbath calm. The arrest of six such prominent citizens caused the greatest

DON 'T cross tracks without looking both ways for approach- caught in the narrow space between two tracks DON’T let your children play near street car tracks. UNITED RAILWAYS CO.

A great many accidents result from the failure of persons to look up or down the street for approaching cars or vehicles, after leavi a street car from the rear and before crossing the opposite track. You have seen women, especially, get off the rear end of a street car and im- mediately step behind it, apparently thinking of anything i than their own safety and you. have watched them jump back just in time to save themselves from being run down by a vehicle approaching from an opposite direction. In this case the motorman or driver cannot see the person passing from behind the car.

. Street car managers, from the first day this mode of transportation came into use, have preached to the public: ‘‘DO NOT GET ON OR OFF | A MOVING CAR. WAIT UNTIL THE CAR STOPS!’’ They still are admonishing the public to that end; and, unfortunately, the public still are jumping on and off moving cars. A large percentage of the accidénts of any metropolit#n system are due to the habit people have formed of boarding and leaving a car while it is in motion. Perhaps it is due to the haste, the strenuous nature of metropolitan life. It is a dangerous habit. A person may “flip’’ a car safely a hundred times, but the hun- dred-and-first may result in a se- rious, if. not a fatal accident. Probably the saddest accident that can occur on a street car line—the acci- dent that causes the.deepest grief in the heart of the motorman, who may have a wife and children of his own—is the running down and injury of some little boy or girl playing in the street. Though warned by their par- ents, children, especially in the crowded sections of the city, make the streets their playground. Without warning they run out in front of approaching cars.

PLAY-GOING ENCOURAGED Bishop Brooke Says Right Pleas- ures in Church Atmosphere Keep Young Minds Pure. OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok., Dec. 9.—In the hall of the parish house of St. Paul’s Episcopa} Church at Oklahoma City the young folk of the church assemble once a week to enjoy music and dancing. Nor does their church forbid cards, even poker, if there are no wagers. And they are encouraged to go to the theater when a play with a mora! uplift comes to town. The Rt. Rev. Francis Key Brooke, Bishop of the Oklahoma Epis- copal diocese, says: “It is not for the older folk to try to curb the spirits of youth. Too many of us have forgotten when we were young. Young men and young women can be just as devout as we would wish them to be, and still have a good time, if we manage matters correctly. The biblical declaration that ‘Man can- not serve two masters, God and mam- mon,’ applies to sin, and not to the enjoyment of innocent pleasure. One can gamble with grains of corn and checkers. ‘Evil to him who evil thinks.’ Keep the minds of the young people pure, keep them within the atmosphere of the church, and let them have a good time.’’ Liberty Not Limited. Dean W. R. Celton, whose sermons reach the ears of a large and enthu- siastic congregation. says: “The attitude of the Episcopal Church, in common with the whole Anglican communion, toward dancing, card play- ing, theater going and the. like, is a matter of private conscience. No effort has ever been made to limit the liberty of the individual in such things. If there is any sentiment in the Episcopal Church opposed to dancing as a form of amusement, I do not know of it. There has grown up recently among those interested in social needs, a strong conviction that the church ought to take more active interest in the amusements of its people, It is urged that pleasure is a primary re- quirement of human nature and that the abuse of certain forms of pleasure is encopraged when they are left en- tirely out of the church's care, An at- tempt has been made in certain places to provide facilities for dancing un- der wholesome conditions in connec- tion with religious and social insti- tutions. ° Correct Influences. “The object igs to remove young peo- ple from the unfavorable influence of commercialized amusement places, not by putting the amusement under some form and under proper condi- tions. “Ever since St. Paul’s parish house was opened the main hall hag been used for dancing in conection with social gatherings of the parish. I should like to see all the young peo- ple of the community come and en- joy a good time with us. They do not need to be members of the ehurch. “Do I think that dancing leads to special temptation? No, not in itself, but if it is branded as immoral it will be very likely to gather about itself bad influence, and this is the fault of the people who place the brand. AS a general rule, people who are past youth recognize too little the ab- solute need of pleasure in the lives of young people. It is a very danger- ous thing to prune away natura] pro- pensities—to take away expressions for the desire of pleasure without substituting anything in their place.” Dancing Natural Pleasure. The deaconess of St. Paul's, Miss K. L, Patterson, is in hearty sympathy with Bishop Brooke and Dean (Col- ton, “Think of the young women here who are making their own living,” she says; “Many of them have no homes and have to live in 4gingle rooms, They are young and naturally crave pleasure. It is from these giris’ that the public dance hall gathers its recruits. “It is natural for the young to dance and there is no reason why they should not. It is our purpose to give them.a nice place, where they can meet nice people, and the influences all be pure. Anything that gives pleas- ure should be indulged in according to one’s conscience.” WHERE COTTON IS A GET-RICH-QUICK CROP BROWNSVILLE, Tex., Dec. 9.—The remarkable yield of eight bales of cot- ton from 2% acres is reported by L. 8. Ross of Harlingen, on his farm near that place. The cotton was planted Feb. 15, : in rows 3% feet apart, and thinned to one stalk cotton in the drill from 8 to 16 inches apart. In July and August, 6644 pounds of seed cotton were gathered and during September and October 3230 pounds were added to the output. Seven of the bales weighed 500 pounds each and the eighth 440 pounds. On 42 acres adjoining, planted at the same time and in the same manner, but receiving less cultivation, Ross harvest- ed 76 bales. Oppose Smith's Pardon.

Much activity has been shown in all departments, and more passengers have ried than in any previous year. The freight business has shown’ a increase and is Prowing daily as the shippers are beginning to realize the Illinois Traction System gives them improved railroad service in all . branches and is an active competitor of the steam lines. The past year has seen many improvements. These include freight terminals in all the larger cities, new sta- tions, belt Hines around Granite City, Edwardsville, Springfleld and. Decatur, These allow the handling of long trains of carioad freight without delay. The past year has also seen the installation of the most complete automatic Bleck system of signals ever attempted by an electric railroad, and by very few of the steam lines. These signals automatically guard every foot of track aad pre- tect all train movements. ! 44 ; Much work has recently been done towards tearranging and bettering the schedules over the entire system. Investigations have heen going on ‘for four months, and Mr. Chubbuck believes the present time card meets travel vequire- ments better than any published heretofore. In connection with the tinse table. changes he has instigated an investigation which is an innovation in rafiroad circles. It is too —- tha case that railroads change their schedules .with- out regard to the effect on the smaller towns. Mr. Chubbuck is sending his representatives over the line to every city and village with a view to getting the feelings of the pegple in each section and finding out what will best meet their requirements. Wherever changes are possible, consistent with good operating, they will be made, : “Il am of the opinion,” said Mr. Chubbuck, “that the patrons of any rail- road system should be taken into the confidence of the road officials whenever . changes are to be made, We are trying to serve a great many sections and I am very anxious to give them all train service which will meet every possible requirement. The patrons along the lines of the Illinois Traction System have always been our friends and we intend to do everything possible te help out.” , e535 Last year marked the beginning out of St. Louls of a large excursion busi- ness to points along the system, and it is expected the coming season will see @ great increase. There are many places along the line which make: desirable a one day’s trip, and St. Louis people are quick to realize the advazitiges of these outings. "pey Another feature which has been recently added to the equipmetit.are cars designed for automobiles and theatrical scenery. Since these have beem put into operation the Illinois Traction has had no trouble in getting the greater part of the theatrical business in St. Louis to up-state points. ~ The new terminal will offer many advantages to out-of-town Located as it is on Twelfth street, one-half block north of Washington avenua, * thew Oe ee ‘it is the heart of the retail, hotel and theatrical district. St. Louis merchants have already advertised extensively the holiday business in towns along the Illinois traction, and a vast amount of trade is expected to use the McKiniey lines during the next two weeks. The frequent train service, which will allew shoppers to come and go to suit their convenience, is an added advantage. In order to accommodate the crowds which wiil use the Mneg during the holi@iay season, the new termina! has been rushed toe compietion, eithough qnuch remains to be done in the way of finishing touches. . Arrangements are now being made to advertise extensively the the grand opera season in St. Louis along the lines of the Dlinois t large influx of music lovers is looked for. At the request of the St. opera committee, traction officials have agreed to put in « special service which will allow Illinois patrons to attend the opera and the same evening without any inconvenience, | As an added convenience to those living along the traction Mnes department has made arrangements s0 that special attention will visitors from Illinois Traction System pointa.

MAXINE ELLIOTT TOO SMART FOR GOODWIN He Says She Has Brain of a Sen- ator and Grew Rich by Gallant Aid of Financiers. SPARTANBURG, S. C., Dec. 9.—Nat C. Goodwin said today that his forth- cording book will pay a tribute to the cleverness of Maxine Elliott, his third wife. “She has the brain of a senator,’ he said, “‘and ought never to have mar- ried. She is not suited for domestic- ity. One does not like his wife to know more than he. “Miss Elliott has retired from the stage a rich woman, and it was I who made her rich by introducing her to financiers. “They gave her advice by which she made profitable investments. Sometimes they speculated for her with their own money, and, if the market went. the wronge Way, pocketed the loss them- selves and gallantly said nothing about it to her.’’ Miss Elliott Is Guest of Duke. LONDON, Dec, 9.—Miss Maxine El- lfott has gone to Belvoir Castle as the guest of the Duke and Dichess of Rutland, to assist in Christmas theatricals. Miss’ Elliott is a close friend of the Duke and Duchess, RECORD FOR FLIRTING Is Next Broadway, New York, and Assemblyman Asks Prison Penalty. NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—Prison for flirts after September 1912. That's the pre- scription suggested by Assemblyman Richard F. Hearn ef Buffalo today, and it will go into the law books if the Assemblyman’s bill is passed by the Legislature. ‘T’'ve been making a little investi- gation of this flirting business,’’ said Hearn. “I’ve found that most of the divorces in the country can be attri- buged to it. “T stood on Broadway last night and saw more flirting than I have seen since Z was on the “ike at the St. Louis Exposition.”’ PAYS $6.75 FOR PIE HIS SWEETHEART MADE Big Lemon Confection Brings Record Price at West Alton Church -Auction. Because his sweetheart, Miss Esther Pfarr, had baked one of the big lemon pies auctioned at the little school house in West Alton for the benefit of the Baptist Sunday school, Frank Smith backed up his boast that he would eat the confection by bidding it in at $6.75. Friends of Smith, who had heard the boast, were his competitors in the bid- ding. Thirty-two pies were sold for $35.66. POISONED BY FISH’S FIN Alton Woman’s Hand Injured While Preparing Meal. Mrs. Wililiam Fries of Alton, whose hand was pierced by the fin of a red snappper while she was preparing the fish for food, is suffering from blood- poisoning. Physicians who were called after the injury had been neglected several days say Mrs. Fries’ arm may have to be am- putated. Watts Government Baseball - lation. me NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—Government regulation of baseball is now proposed. Congressman Daniel A. ‘Driscoll » ‘of Buffalo is quoted tonight as saying he ‘purposes introducing a, bill into Con- gress soon to “create a bureau to gt eel ado mee eR: eee ‘ ; BS OSES) eta DISGUISED Ta TRAILS HUSBAND ND GIRL 10 HOTEL Policeman Who Safr Her Watch- ing Couple, Joins Chase, Ar- rests Couple in Room. a= SHE IS HIS STENOGRAPHER Nineteen and Pretty, She Took Place of Wife Who Has Not Been Happy Since. Traced by his wife, who watched him and his stenographer making love, fol- lowed them to a restaurant and then to a hotel, Byal E. Whitaker of 5433 Reber place was arrested with the young wom- an last night after he and the gir! had registered as man and wife. Mrs. Whitaker said she had suspected her husband of an infatuation for his typist, and disguised herself before she left her home, to watch them. She put on an old blue fascinator, which con- cealed most of her face. An umbrella held low helped the disguise. She said she stood outside the window of her husband's office, the Odell Safety Razor Sharpener Co., 215 North Tenth street, for 45 minutes watching the pair. Most of the time the typist, who gives her name as Annie Varble, 3322 Pine street, was working at her desk, Mrs. Whitaker asserted, while Whitaker stood over her and blew smoke from] hirgcigar in her face. ‘“‘She’d slap his face at this,’’ the wife said, ‘‘and he'd giggle. Once or twice they went into another room for a min- ute or two and I fancied that through the partition I could see them kissing. I thought of murdering them both and of killing myself, and then the face of my son, Lynn—he’s 8 years old—would come to me and I'd bite my nails and try to restrain myself.’’ Tells Policeman Her Story. The pair finally put on their wraps. The wife trailed them to a restaurant at 1212 Olive street. She was looking at them through a window when Police- man King came up and-demanded an explanation of her strange behavior. She told her story and demanded. the arrest of the pair, but King advised her to wait and see what the two did next. Dinner over, Whitaker and the girl walked up Olive street to Four- teenth Bnd then turned south, going to the Regent~potel at Fourteenth and Chestnut streets. The wife, Policeman King and Police- man, Dineen went into the hotel and found that Whitaker had ‘signed the register. King went to their door and arrested the pair when Whitaker ans- wered his knuck. Wife Sorry After Arrest. ’ The desire for vengeance seemed to havé left Mrs. Whitaker by the time the party had reached police headquarters, for she said to her husband: ‘I am awfully sorry, but I had to do this for the sake of my boy.”’ The husband was greatly crestfallen. The typist said she was 19 years old, but looked younger. “Why do I laugh?’ she replied to a question. ‘I could carry on if I wanted to, but what’s the use? One might as well take experiences with a. smile as any other way. -We’ve got to get used to anything in this world.” Mrs. Whitaker looked at her sadly as she said this. The wife is a pretty woman of 30, refined in appearance, neatly dressed, and quiet in manner. - Whitaker, who is 31 years old, offered ro explanation other than to say he was not in love with the girl. He and the girl were held prisoners all night. The wife told the police that ufitil ner husband employed this girl they had been happy. She said he discharged a woman clerk, 40 years old, to give Miss Varble the place. Since then he had been in “the habit of staying. out at night. $1,000,000 PAID FOR THREE REMBRANDTS a. eas ae Widener, of Philadel- phia, Buys Them in England for His Collectoin. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 9%— Three world famous paintings by~Rembrandt have been added to the priceless col- lection of P. A. B. Widener’ at his home at Elkins” Park, Pa. Informa- ion from Europe states that the paint- ings were purchased for $1,000,000. The three art treasures, which were part of the collection of Lord Wimborne, “The Circumsision,” “St. Paul’ and “Portrait of a Gentleman.” They were purehased by Widener while abroad last spring. They were placed in his private art gallery in Elkins Park° in July: " When informa- tion came from England by cable of the purchase it was verified at the home of Widener. “George D. Widener, son of P. A. B. Widener, said: “The three paintings are Mr. Widener’s moat recent art pur- chase. They have been in his home here since July when they arrived from ” : E TFRENGH VICONTE HAS THE LAUGH ON COUNTRY CLUB ® Charles de Gheest, Riding Green Bronco, Beats Taylor Stickney gon Polo Pony. WAGER ON RACE IS $100 Charles Scullin’s Paris Grandson Picked Out His Horse at Stockyards. A prevailing American belief that the gilded sons of the French nobility are but languid loungers with abnormal love of ease, absinthe and Turkish cigarettes, and are in nowise to be compared, as to physical prowess, with the United States’ own sturdy sons, got a terrific jolting at the St. Louis Country Ciub last week. For some time Vicomte Charles de Gheest of Paris has been visfting his maternal grandfather, John Scullin of St. Louls. The young man, who is 21, tall, athletic and good-looking, has been Inuch sought in the society of this city, and has been especially well received by the poloists at the Country Club. The Vicomte learned horsemanship in the military. school of the French army, where he served the customary two years. In want of a polo pony to suit him, one day he went over to the Na- tional Stockyards and, out of the day’s offerings, picked a green horse that looked good to him. Broncho Raises a Laugh. There was a bit of hilarity at the club when De Gheest showed up there with his ‘new mount. It was as green a broncho as ever came off the plains of the Southwest. One of tltose who jested about it was Taylor Stickney. M. le Cicomte observed that Stick- Jjney must be mistaken in his judg- ment. M. le Vicomte had observed the suppleness of the pony as it stood among its fellows in the stock pen. It had the flashing eye, the look of spirit, the hint of speed. He was sure he could demonstrate that Mr. Stickney was in error. In- deed, if in a spirit of amusement Mr. Stickney would like to make a try, although the Vicomte suggested it purely in a spirit of sportsmanship, he would ride his find against any pony Mr. Stiskney might select—say, for a trifle of a stke—a cigar, a din- ner or perhaps a bagatelle of $100. Stickney, likewise in a _ spirit of sportsmanship, thought highly . of such a match. The stake was $100. ‘The polo field was set as the course and it was decided to run four heats, two round trips across the field mak- ing one heat. In such a match the waiatue of the polo pony would give it a decided advantage because it is necessary to make two complete turns. Stickney selected -a horse belonging to an- other member of the club. It was not considered that De Gheest’s mount had much of a chance. But by brilliant horsemanship the Frenchman out- raced his opponent, winning three of the four heats, while the members looked on in wonderment. Scullin’s Grandson, De Gheest is the only grandson of John Scullin. His mother was formerly Miss Mary Stullin of this city. While it: Mexico she met the Comte de Gheest, the Vicomte’s father, and.they fell in love. Frenchman’s wealth matched the Seui- lins’. American traveler’ returning from Paris when the Vico §pte was a baby said he was called the most beautiful child in the French capital. The mother was herself renowned for her beauty. She is also a singer of great ability. Mother and son will be joined in‘this city by the Count de Gheest in the Christmas ‘holidays. : HIGHWAYMEN. FLEE WHEN VICTIM BITES. John Paule Grabs Assailant’s Finger in Teeth and Latter Howls and Runs. When a negro highwayman struck him in the mouth last night, John Paule, 7 years. old, an Easton avenue hardware merchant, caught one of the negro’s fingers between his teeth and bit it so hard that the robber jerked his finger away with a howl of pain and ran. An- other negro, who had started to assist in the robbery with a revolver, fled after him. Paule was on his way, at’9 p. m., to his home, 3040 Vine Grove avenue, and had more than $0 in his pocket. He Was stopped at an alley’s mouth on Newstead avenue, near Cottage, by the negroes, but his novel reststance kept them from getting his money.

JBAGPIPE AND BIRD LOST IN TRIPLE A CLUB $2500 FIRE Tennis Players and Golfers Fight Flames That Burn Roof and Houséman’s Rooms. BLAZE EATS A. $187 ROLL Members in Bath Tie on Towels and Save Locker Contents and Athletic Apparatus. Nearly 150 athletes forsook golf links, tennis and handball courts, shower baths and the soccer field yesterday afternoon to turn their muscular prowess to sav- ing the “Triple A” clubhouse in Forest Park from destruction by fire. Despite their efforts, two-thirds of the roof was consumed and the apart- ments on the third floor, occupied by Andrew Cowie, houseman, his wife and 22-year-old daughter, Gladys, were de- stroyed. The damage was estimated at $2500. tive flue or to sparks from the chimney. Flames and smoke rising from the roof were detected almost simultaneously by members on the handball court, the golf links and the soccer field, where the club team was engaged in practice. ‘ Quit Links for the Fire. Thomas Aitken, 58 years old, profes- sional golf instructor at the club, was playing a foursome with Dr. W. L. Whipple, Edward Fay and D. A. Fletch- er. They were.at the sixth hole and all had just driven off. Aitken said ofterwards that the drives were “‘beau- ties.”” But when the smoke was seen, they raced towards the club house, fol- lowed by their caddies. On the handball court, 100 yards from the clubhouse,.a game was being con- tested by Joseph Mason, A. V. Roach, J. McGrath and James Daly. abandoned the game and ran to. the clubhouge. In the shower bath rooms were about 15 members. A. H. Hitchens rushed to the telephone to notify the Fire De- partment. Then he and others, without stopping to dress completely, began a struggle to save the-contents of the 638 lockers on‘the ground floor. They contained sweaters, shoes, jerseys, ten- nis rackets, golf balls and other athletic articles. The amateur firemen, arming them- selves with iron bars, pried open the doors of many of the lockers and car- ried their contents into the campus. Some of the men were garbed only in towels. Soon the stoke and water drove them from their labors. They seized their clothes and hastened to the Lopén air, gsouith of the clubhouse, where they dressed. Canary and Bag Pipe Burned. Mrs. .Hitchens, Mrs. Cowie and her dntighter were in the women’s parlor on the second floor. Mrs. Cowie rushed upstairs to save her canary. The smoke drove her back and the pet per- ished. The furniture was destroyed and Cowie’s bagpipe was consumed. He is pipe major of the St. Louis Scottish Band. This loss distressed him as much as the burning of $187 in bills. J..G. Gunn, captain of the Triple A soccer team, was putting the team through its paces on the field when he saw smoke on the clubhouse roof. He headed a rush to the rescue and aided in premeving much of the athletc appa- The first thing so, Was the Diple A golf trophy, a siiv=. cup more than two feet hizh, whit; i decorated with engravings of the »mnes of all the winners of the cup. Two fire companies responded to the telephone summohs. The nearest fire plug was at the Mounted Dis- trict Police Station, two blocks away, and the :next nearest on Macklin avenue, five blocks distant. Fire en- wines ‘were placed at each plug to relay the streams of water, and the double pressure burst the hdse four times. It required an hour and a half to extinguish the blaze, which was fed by a strong wind from the east and assisted by the clubhouse’s posi- tion on a hill. Ross and others, before the .arrival of the firemen, fought the flames with chemical extinguishers. The loss is covered by insurance. BOY SCOUTS BANDAGE CUT IN CHIEF’S FOOT The Rev. M.. H.

This at Hearing of Husband’s Suit for Mar- riage Annulment. The tardiness of Mrs. Agnes Nash Marre yesterday in Judge Allen’s court in her husband’s suit to annul their marriage compelled her attor- ney to make an admission that Marre’s attorneys sought. It was that when the wife was a student in Sa- cred Heart Convent several years ago it was understood there that she was an Indian. The husband is al- leging that she has negro blood, After her testimony Friday, in which she denied the husband’s story of a forced marriage and his assertion that she was part negro, the wife was expected in court yesterday morning at 10:30 o’clock. She hadn’t appeared within 30 minutes after that time, so Judge Allen instructed the attorneys to proceed. It was then that Attorney George B. Webster made the admission, Attorney Hiram N. Moore having announced he had expected to cross-examine the wife on that point. Marre was recalled and denied the wife’s story they were married in Belleville July 8, 1908. He said he was at a fishing camp on Big Piver with other members of his family throughout the whole of July that year. James Mar're, his father, cor- roborated this. The husband also was shown the wedding ring his wife testified he gave her at the time she says they were married in Belleville. He de- clared he had never seen it before, After the conclusion of the evidence and while the attorneys were arguing the case, Mrs. Marre entered the court- room. No explanation of her delay was asked by the Vourt and she volunteered none. % In her seabtiiediie ‘Friday Mrs. Marre said that she and Louis Marre went to Belleville late on the afternoon of July S$. 1908, and that they went to a house where her husband handed a paper she had not seen or read to a man she didn’t know. The stranger repeated a mar- riage ceremony, she said, and after that Marre asked her to keep the wedding secret a while. She said he gave her the wedding ring as they were coming home on a car. She said she lived with him at a ‘Market street hotel for a week and when her mother asked where she had been had replied that she was doing some sewing for a woman in the West End. On cross-examination she _ ad- mitted that she had doubted the legality of her marriage in the Illinois town and that her attorney had searched in vain for a marriage license record. ie : «89 . we = I i ~ e SUCCESSOR with TESTIF Herbert S. Hockin, Acting Secretary of. HB Workers After Arrest, Willing to Aid State, According to Report. From a oo Correspondent ef the ost-Dispatch, cabot ana bomen Ind., Dec. 9.—A loca paper prints tonight a long circum- stantial story to the effect that Her- bert S. Hockin, member of the Execu- tive Board of the Iron Workers and act- ing secretary-treasurer since John J. McNamara’s arrest, is ready to testify for the State and has been negotiating for surrender of the remaining records of the union in return for a “square deal” from the Federal authorities. There is substantial foundation for the story, but its publication was not in- tended by the authorities, and an in- vestigation has been started to discover the “leak’’ and prevent its recurrence. Hockin left Indianapolis tonight at 6 men: He would not discuss the local publication nor answer any questions on the dynamiting charges. Frank Ryan, president of the Iron Workers, left on another train. He, too, had a full com- plement of shadows. The destination of neither labor leader was known, but Leo M. Rappaport, attorney for the un- ion, said that Ryan’s mission related solely to his family and that he would be back Monday morning. Federal District Attorney Miller, who returned this noon from Washington, was very plainly chagrined by the pub- licity given to Hockin at this time. He declined to discuss any particular phase of the Government’s investigation and added only the comment that if there were any negotiations with Hockin he did not know anything about it. The Post-Dispatch correspondent can state, on excellent authority, that it is not the purpose of the Federal authori- ties to offer or give the opportunity for immunity to any of the officers or busi- ness agents of the Iron Workers whose indictment is sought for complicity in the dynamiting plot. The Government has already in its possession documentary evidence, the existence of which was known to only a few persons. Hockin will not be called before the grand jury for the Government, it is believed, has enough documentary evidence for its purpose without calling any of the principal of- ficers to testify. Persons familiar with the inside of the investigation have declared for months that Hockin and John J. Mc- Namara worked hand in hand. This was in the correspondence seized in the storage room which McNamara had constructed in the basement of the of- fice building where the union has its headquarters. At first this vault and its contents \were disowned by members of the ex- , the incriminating letters, checks, books c’clock, closely trailed by secret service} q ecutive board, but when the transfer- of and other documents were demanded by the California authorities, Hockin at- tempted to replevin them, and swore that as a representative of the union he was their owner. Some of the correspondence seized in the headquarters of the union will, it is said, show that contributions were sent from the treasury of the interna- tional organization to local unions which were engaged in strikes against the open shop. The business agent of one local received $500 from J. J. Mc- Namara and gave no account. At last McNamara wrote for an accounting. and the business agent sent back a newspaper account of the dynamiting of railroad bridge with the laconic note: ‘“How’ll this do for a receipt?’ e et — we M’NAMARAS ARE TAKEN TO PRISON Route a Secret as Deputies Leave Los Angeles for San Quentin. LOS ANGELES, Cal.; Dec. 9.—James B. and John J. McNamara started té-, day for San Quentin Penitentiary. “I’m a young man, and I’m for union labor,”” was John J. McNamara’s part- ing comment, according to Clarence 8. Darrow, who was last with him. The route to be taken by Sheriff Wm. A. Hammell and his prisoners was kept secret, and even the time of departure was unknown to the general public. Newspaper men and photographers were concealed behind the jail and were notified of the exact moment of de- parture of the McNamaras, so _ they collected about the entrance only long enough to see the brothers enter a wait- ing automobile. James B.’s right hand was manacied to John J.’s left wrist. Both men looked pale and cheerless, and walked the few steps from the jail door with bowed héads. They will arrive at San Quentin just a little before the beginning of the rainy season, and John J. was solicitous for bis brother’s health. “I guess we won't be out in the rain enough to hurt us,” he said, when as- sured that the drainage was good. The Fedéral grand jury was not in session today, but will convene again Tuesday to take testimony in alleged dynamiting conspiracies. Oscar Lawler occupied himself today with several of the witnesses. He wags closeted for a é GIRL ‘SECRETARY i: M’NAMA Re WI TNESS " Paull bi CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—Miss Nora Haley, private secretary and confidant of John J. McNamara for more than two years, is in Chicago under surveillance of Govy- ernment officials of the Department of Justice and will go to Indianapolis next week to testify before the Federal grand jury. Miss Haley's testimony is regarded, it is said, as most important, because of her intimate knowledge of all that trans- pired in the secretary’s office, , Information, it is understood here, will be of even more importance than that of Ortle McManigal, and will be of aid to the Federal authorities in Indiana in learning how closely the dynamiting charged to the McNamara brothers was connected with the union and its high officials, if at all. The subpena directing Miss Haley to appear before the Federal grand jury at Indianapolis was served on her at a ho- tel on the South Side Thursday. She did not_express surprise, saying she had heard from her father, and that he had told her to come back home when the officials called for her. The subpenas were drawn at the. di- rection of United States District Attor- ney Charles W. Miller of Indianapolis and were sent here by mail. Labor Leader Tveltmoe Will Return to San Francisco.

Oe PROICED| pe aieckt Juror Tells of Stran- ger Asking His Opinion of the Case. HE REFUSED TO GIVE IT Inquiry Regarded as Probable— Talesman Is Dismissed for Other Causes.

Bpecia] to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—One prospective juror admitted today he had been approached while in the corridor of the Federal Court Building before the opening of the morning session of the packers’ trial before United States Judge George A. Carpenter. He said he was asked what was his “opinion.” He quoted his reply as having been: “I have been called as @ juror and have no right to an opin- ion.” He asserted he did not permit the conversation to continue any further. Other jurors, in response to Judge Carpenter’s query excited by the dis- closure, said no one had spoken to them on this topic. ‘After hearing the full story of M. R. Veale, a farmer from Malta, the venireman in question, Judge Car- penter took the incident under ad- visement. Whether there will be an ‘inquiry he did not indicate. “Did you know the man?” packers’ counsel asked Veale. “No, sir, I think he lives in Springfield.” “You think he lives in Springfield?” “Yes. I think he told me so.” “Did he tell you why he felt at liberty to address you as a juror?” “He said no more.” Judge Carpenter then addressed him- self to Veale and all the other men in the jury box as follows: ‘Did he talk to any of the other jurors?’ “No, sir, not that I noticed.” ‘ All the others shook their heads, United States District Attorney Wil- kerson and Special Prosecutor Sheean -@id not take any hand in the question- ing of Veale. . Attorney Payne switched to a new angle of questions and the incident was _ @ropped, for the time, at least. Neither " the attorneys for the Government nor the packers would discuss tlie testimony of Veale. Veale soon disqualified himself by his answers to other questions, however, and was excused for cause. He admit- ‘ted having an opinion detrimental to the interests of the indicted packers. “Have you any tmpression or preju- dice either in favor of the Government or against the packers?’ asked Mr. Payne. “I have, and I'm against the pack- ers," returned Veale, with a smile on his face. Four farmers have been cut from the jury and two connected with “inde- . pendent” concerns put off by the pack- ers. When court adjourned at nbon to con- vene at 10 o’olock Monday morning, ll men were in the box.. Three had been dropped and but two new ones were ac- cépted by the defense. U. S. MARSHAL KILLS: LC. RAILROAD AGENT Two Former East St. Louisans Quarrel at Centralia, Il. ‘CENTRALIA, Ill, Dec. 9.—George Lewis, special agent of the Illinois Cen- tral Railroad, stationed here since the strike began, was shot and killed tonight by Deputy United States Marshal N. E. Bacon. Lewis, who was 34 years old, came here from East St. Louis. Lewis resented the discharge of a guard by Bacon and it is said he fired first. Bacon drew his revolver and fired five-shots, two of them entering Lewis’ forehead. Bacon surrendered to the police.

wl BUYING 10YS Lamp—Hurts Serious. With a bundle of toys and candy pur- chased on“a. Santa Claus shopping trip, Mrs. Miles Gear returned to her home at 268 Davison avenue last night to find that her youngest child, Mildred, two years old, had been burned, per- haps fatally, by the upsetting of a kerosene lamp. Mildred was sitting in a high chair at the dining room table. With her were her sister Mary, four years old, and her brother, Gordon, seven. Their father, who had attended them while Mrs. Gray was busied in the stores, left at 6 o’clock for a grocery store nearby to buy provisions for supper. He instructed Gordon to watch his sis- ters. The children began playing. Mary climbed upon the table, with cries of glee. Gordon attempted to catch her and Mildred hammered the table joyous- ly with a spoon. Suddenly Mary struck the lamp and turned it over. A spray of blazing oil fell upon the baby’s clothes. Gordon rushed from the house and overtook his father, who ran back in time to put out the flames. Mildred’s face, hands and body were scorched, and city hospital physicians said she would probably die. SIMPLIFIED LABOR CONTRACTS, IS PLAN Private Agents Confer With State Commissioner to’ Work Out New System. Austin W. Biggs, State Labor Commis- sioner, who has been spending several cays in St. Louis, addressed the private labor agents of this city yesterday aft- ernoon in the St. Louis office of the State Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is under his control. Biggs has been working on a uniform contract to be adopted by all agents, which, if adopted, he says, will do away with many complaints against the agents, who are licensed by the Com- missioner. ; ‘ -The purpose of the new contracfs, as outlined by Biggs, is to have every a

agency make contracts so simple that there may not be a misunderstanding as to their meaning. THé agents have assured him, the Labor Commissioner says, that they will adopt the contracts and aid him in’ raising the standing of the business of the private labor agent.

in) KNOW Fi) VALUES I$ SECRET UF LIVING COST Prof. Irving Fisher, of Yale, Tells Round Table Club How to Eat Cheaply. WOULD. CUT OUT BUTTER Half an Ounce of Some Sub- sances Equals a Pound of Others, He Avers. TT “Fifteen-cent butter,” instead of the kind for which St. Louisans are now paying 40 cents a pound, is rec- ommended by Irving Fisher, professor of political economy in Yale Univer- sity, who is now in St. Louis, as one way of meeting the _ cost-of-living problem. He is considered an au- thority on the cost of living. He has written a book on the subject and lectures extensively, “Fifteen-cent butter,” as most per- s0ns are aware, is not butter at all. It is sometimes termed “oleo,” while in certain boarding houses it 1s dubbed “axle grease.” But. Prof. Fisher declares that, not- withstanding prejudice, it is as wholesome and nourishing as butter, and he points out that the family which uses two pounds of butter a week can save 50 cents a week, while butter is at its present price, by us- ing the 15-cent article. “It is unfortunate,” said Prof. Fish- er to a Post-Dispatch reporter at the St. Louis Club last night, “that people think they must have butter, and will not save the money they might save. by using substitutes. The chief evil about these substitutes, and the one the law has dealt with, has been col- oring them to make them resemble butter; but this coloring has been made almost a necessity by the gen- eral demand for something which will look like real butter, and it is still done in most places, in spite of the laws. Can Save by Curtailing Meat. “There is room for a good deal of saving in buying meat, but meat need not be a large part of the family diet. Vegetables are not so high as most other things, and flour, the great food staple, is regulated in its price by numerous conditions. Probably most persons can't save much there, “I knew a family not long ago which lived on an average food expense of 10 to 15 cents a day for each member. I knew a man a few years ago who esti- mated that his food cost him $36 a year. Probably the same would cost him $50 a year now, with the higher prices, but even that is less than $! a week. The man was a robust bass singer and an athlete. Economy in eat- ing is partly a matter of learning food values. Half an ounce of some food has food value equal to a pound of some other substances,”’ Prof. Fisher spoke before the Round Table Club at the St. Louis Club last night on “The Rise in the Cost of Living.” He is the guest of Edward Hidden at the club. He will speak to- morrow at a luncheon before the City Club, and in the afternoon at the Wednesday Club before women’s organ- izations, on various phases of the same topic.

Does Not Blame Tariff. In his address last night he did not include the tariff among the possible causes of the: high cost of living. He explained that this was because the tar- iff was much the same before the cost of living advanced so remarkably. “A general lowering of the tariff will make living cheaper,’’ he remarked, ‘‘but the tariff has been a constant burden for so long that it cannot be considered the chief cause now.” He said prices in this country have risen 50 per cent in the past 15 years, in Germany 30 per cent and in England 20 per cent. This applies, he said, not only to food, but to coal, steel, building ma- terial and other general necessities. In suggesting remedies, he said that 3 schemes for doing away with the middie

Rev. F. J. O’Boyle, 8S. J.,. to Lecture. We have at the Deaf Mute Institute 7% deaf mutes, victimes of spinal menin- gitis, scarlet fever, etc. Besides being homeless, some are afflicted with par- tiak paralysis and blindness. To accom- modate this humber, it was necessary top remodel our house, thus incurring a debt which we hope, through the assistance of the friends of these ‘‘little ones,”’ soon to cancel. Rev. F. J. O’Boyle, S. J., is to give a lecture. He has seen the Passion Play in Oberammergau. His personal knowl- edge of scenes and characters makes the lecture more than ordinarily attractive.

EOP T OE Ieg OP IR me RE Se em BY CONVENTION PLEA OF ST. LOUIS Chairman of Republican Na- tional Commitee Agrees to Quit Insisting on Chicago as Place to Make Nomina- tions—Southern Members Lined Up. ST. LOUISANS ARGUE ‘TO TAFT TOMORROW hatnectenestunnnnmmemenenmnenet ; ? ‘ Secretary Hilles Invites James E. Smith to Lay This City’s Case Before President — Campaigners Doing Great Work. “Bring Both National Con- ventions to St. Louis.’’ By a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—The St. Louis campaigners for the Republican conven- tion won a signal victory tonight when they forced National Committee Chair- man Hitchcock to cease his efforts in behalf of Chicago and pledge himself to neutrality as between St. Louls and Chi- cago. Hitchcock told the St. Louis workers that he had been inclined to believe that the convention ought to go to Chicago, but that recent political developments had caused him to conclude that he ‘would not further press Chicago's cause. A meeting of the Southern delegates will. be held tomorrow afternoon to take concerted action on the convention. James E. Smith has been scheduled to speak in behalf of St. Louis. As many of the Southern delegates have promised to support St. Louis, it is believed that they will all agree to vote that way. Some of the Southern delegates are to Give $10,000 The Post-Dispatch offers to pay Ten Thousand Dollars as follows: IVE THOUSAND DOLLARS to the fund that shall bring the Republican convention to St. Louis. ; FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS to the fund that shall bring the Dem- ocratic convention fo St. Louis. If it be decided to raise only one fund to bring only one of the two conventions to St. Louis, and that resul{ shall be accomplished, the Post-Dispatch will pay Ten Thou- ‘sand Dollars to that fund. | territory unfriendly to the renomination of President Taft. James E. Smith, in a long interview with Secretary Hilles of the President’s personal staff, showed him how easy {it would be for the insurgents to pack the convention hall in Chicago with Re- publicans hostile to President Taft and how disastrous such a movement might prove. This argument and the fact that there ig much talk of former President Roosevelt entering the field as a can- didate for the nomination, or at least & movement among insurgents to bring him forward, caused Secretary Hilles to interrupt Smith with this suggestion: Will Talk With President. “Mr. Smith, I want to come to the White House at 11 a. m. Monday and say to the President what you have said to me.” Smith was, of course, delighted with the suggestion. He will use all his argumentative powers upon the President, with. whom he enjoys a personal friendship, to get him lined up for St. Louis, Every other influence St. Louis can bring to bear upon President will be exerted between now and the date of the National Committee meet- ing at the New Willard Hotel Tues- day. A word from President Taft in favor of St. Louis will win the convention to a certainty, in the opin- ion of the St. Louls workers. Every legitimate influence and ar- gument will be used to get that word, President Taft heard direct from the leading Republicans of the State dur- ing the week that the convention is needed in St. Louis to hold Missouri in the Republican column, It is thought the President. would prefer to have the convention held in a friendly city in a state that is fight- ing ground rather than in an un- friendly city in a state that is cer- tainly Republican. atized to the minutest detail. By the time the delegation arrives Sunday each man will be assigned to a certain num- ber of committeemen. He will be ‘instructed to see these committeemen and use every business, political and personal argument’ at his command in favor of St. Louis. every loose leaf notebook will be writ- ten the Washington address of commit- teemen and best time of day to see him. This has been done to facilitate the work of the delegation so that as little time as possible will be lost in the work of rounding up the committeemen. Many business houses buying goods from Eastern manufacturers have used their influence in behalf of St. Louis. The Simmons Hardware Co. has tele- gsraphed to all the New England firms with which it does business, requesting them to help influence their committee- men in favor of St. Louis. James E. Smith was delighted with his interviews with both Treasurer Shel- don and Secretary Hilles. Sheldon told Smith that he was going to do every- thing in his power to throw the conven- tion to St. Louis. As Sheldon is. en- trusted with the duty of raising the campaign fund, he has a big influence over the members of the committee, Be- Ing One of the heaviest stockholders in In aa ee ’ he} the North American Co., owning public utilities in St. Louis, he is eager to see St. Louis win. He has promised to do everything he could to get the New York and other Eastern committeemen to vote for St. Louis. It is thought he will have an influence with President Taft in getting him to give the word that will win the prize for St. Louis. The fact that Secretary of Labor and Commerce Charles Nagel has been working vigorously for St. Lauis indi- cates that the President is at least friendly, if not actually in favor of St. Louis. It is. believed the President would call Nagel out of the fight unless he wished to see St. Louis win. The committee will probably decide to hold the convention between June 6 and 17. + LL —— —_ B.

Smith and others are in Washington completing prelimi- naries of the campaign. “We have the money to entertain the delegates and are in humor to make a strong bid for the. convention,”’ declared Festus J.

Members of the Business Men’s League have agreed to underwrite any promise of a fund the committee makes in Washington. The members of the committee wh? departed for Washington are: Rolla Wells, chairman; Mayor Kreismann, A. L. Shapleigh, E. L. Preetorius, EB. A. Faust, Festus J. Wade, Sam D. Capen, J. A. Lewis, T. H. Glancy and Saunders Norvell Chicago Feels Sure That It Will Get Both Conventions. CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—Convinced today that the Republican national conven- tion will be awarded to Chicago when the National Committee meets formally Tuesday, representatives of the Chi- cago Association of Commerce, work- ing with the committee named by May- or Harrison, redoubled their efforts to get the Democratic national convention. John W. Eckhart, chairman of the committee, which was increased to 15 during the day, announced tonight that there is little doubt about the subscrip- tion fund being sufficiently large to land the Democratic gathering when the National Committee assembles at “Washington Jan. &% “We have $30,000 actually subscribed,” said Eckhart, “without any perceptible effort. I have no hesitancy in predict- ing that the committee will raise at least $100,000 when it gets down to work, and that the convention will come to Chicago.” Searching for George Schuler. Mrs. Nora D. McKinney of Denver is in St. Loufjs seeking information about her brother, George Schuler, from whom she was separated 25 years ago. She has heard, she says, that Schuler was cared for at St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum in St. Louis until he was adopted by a man named Patrick Mul- len, who was killed by a train.

Remarking that he was not per- sonally concerned one way or the other, he said: “There ig certainly plenty of room for objection to the grounds on which the opposition to the movement are making their arguments.

The thoroughness and effectiveness of the St. Louis campaign for the convention has almost swept Chicago off its feet. Every national commit- teaman arriving in Washington has letters or telegrams in his pocket from personal or political friends in St. Louis or Missouri requesting him to vote for St. Louis, The bombardment is being kept up on the committeemen after their ar- rival in Washington. Telegrams were sent yesterday to Gov. Sloane of Arizona requesting him to get his national committeeman lined up for St. Louis. Morse sent a tele- gram to former Vice-President Fair- banks at Indianapolis, requesting him to use his influence with Harry New of St Louis. Morse was formerly closely identified with the political fortunes of Col. R. C. Kerens and is a close friend of Fairbanks. Kerens and Fairbanks were also very good friends, The St. Louis workers discovered that surance of quality. Our Charge Customers will appreciate the special advantage we are offering them this month.

Woodrow Wilson is clearly the choice of the party. Congressman Small of North Caro- lina: The most available Democratic candidate would be Gov. Wilson. I have no sympathy with those who class him as a radical. I believe he stands for popular goVernment, but at the same time; his wisdom, acumen and sense ot justice would induce him to apply any governmental theories along this line in such a way as to meet existing condi- tions in the several communities and states. Senator Chamberiain of Oregon: Without disparagement to other dis- tinguished gentlemen whose names are mentioned in connection with the nomi- nation for the presidency, I am of the opinion Gov. Woodarsw Wilson is at present the strongest as well as the most available man for the nomination. State Chairman Sweek of Oregon: Both Gov. Harmon and Gov. Wilson have a strong following in this State, with Gov. Wilson greatly in the lead. Gov. Wilson, in my opinion, would carry Oregon as against any other candidate mentioned up to the present time. whether he is Republican or Democrat. State Chairman Thompson of Okla- homa: Woodrow Wilson would make an ideal candidate for the “progres- sives’”’ of the State of Oklahoma. Editor Josephus Daniels, the News and Observer, Raleigh, N. C.: I think the strongest candidate who could be named is Gov. Woodrow Wilson. William F. Harrity of Pennsylva- nia, who was chairman of the Demo- cratic National Committee in the suc- cessful Cleveland campaign of 1892: Without disparagement of any of the other eminent Democrats who are prominently mentioned, I regard Gov. Judson Harmon of Ohio as the best equipped, strongest and most avail- able- Democrat for the presidency. State Chairman J. B. Williams of Texas: Any man on any kind of plat- form, whether conservative, “progres- sive” or “reactionary,” named by a national Democratic convention will carry Texas as he will every Southern state proper. With the vote assured, it is possible, in my judgment, for the Democracy to elect but one man Pres- ident of the United States, Judson Harmon of Ohio. Former Senator Money € Missis- sippi: I think Harmon would be the most popular. Congressman Savion of Ohio: Gov. Harmon is the choice of the great majority of Ohio Democrats. Congressman Ashbrook of Ohio: Judson Harmon can carry Ohio with- out a doubt; as much cannot be said for another. Congressman Ayres of New York: Undoubtedly the sentiment of the Democrats of the State Of New York is for Harmon as the wisest and saf- est presidential candidate. This is especially the case of the independ- ent’ Demagrats. Congressman Maher of New York: Gov. Harmon would make an excel- lent candidate and would enlist the support of the majority of the voters of this State.. Congressman Bulkley of Ohio: Either Harmon or Wilson can carry Ohio. State Chairman Reed of Ohio: The campaign of 1912 must be fought largely upon the record made by the Sixty-Second Congress and as Speak- er Clark is recognized as the leader, the author and finisher of much of that record, he is looked upon as the logical candidate. Congressman Lewis of Maryland: I prefer for the Democratic candi- dates, first Clark, second Wilson. Either is safe, sane, but not smug and self-satisfied and either can be elected and will make good. Congressman RBourland of Missouri: The candidate who would enlist the support of the majority of the voters of Missouri is Champ Clark. Congressman Ferris of Oklahoma: Champ Clark is perhaps our first choice for President and Wilson sec- ond. “Our State is progressive and does not want any reactionary candi- date, Gov. Cruce of Oklahoma: In my judgment it is too early to suggest the name of the man to head the Demo- cratic hosts in the approaching contest. National Committeeman Garber of Ohio: The Bryan influence in the State of Ohio is so great and universal that no man can be elected who has not Mr. Bryan's active support. The fact that Mr. Bryan would oppose such a candidate in the convention would pre- clude his nomination even. Editor H. E. Newbranch of World- Herald, Omaha, Neb.: ft is too early to attempt to say which prospective Democratic candidate would be strong- est in Nebraska. If Taft continues to offend Western. sentiment, and if the Democratic House continues to act wisely, harmoniously and effectively, I believe that any able, clean and pro- gressive Democrat could carry the State. National Committeeman Wood of Michigan: I candidly believe that there are 50 or more Democrats in the United States, any one of whom would be triumphantly elected over President Taft. The Democratic party is united as never before, while the Republican party is divided worse than the Dem- ocratic party ever was over the free silver and gold standard issues.

TARIFF HAILED AS PARAMOUNT ISSUE Following are opinions of leaders as to the issues upon which Democracy should make its battle: Senator Joseph F. Johnston of Al- abama: Mr. Underwood is my choice of candidate, and I think he would poll every Democratic vote in the country. Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi: The tariff and trusts. State Chairman Martin of Kansas: Tariff for revenue; opposition to Al- drich banking plan. Cengressman Hobson eof Alabama: Tariff revision; restoration of Gov- ernment to people, a progressive pol- icy carfully executed. | Senator Martine ef New Jersey: Re- duction of tariff: regulation of rail- road rates; physical valuations of railroads. Cengressman Charlies B. Smith of New Yerk: The tarite; reform of our

Harrity, fermer Chair~ man of the Democratic National Com- mittee: I think the tariff will be the leading issue in the campaign of 1912. Congressman William FP. Borland of Missouri: The issues upon which the Democratic party should make its appeal to the voters are an honest and substantia] reduction of the tariff duties toward a revenue basis; economy in the ) public expenses; a development of na- tlonal resources and an expansion of foreign trade; the elimination ef special privilege in any form from national legislation; and honest adherence to platform pledges, that the average vot- er may be encouraged to take part in political affairs with assurance that his voice will be heard and his wishes respected. State Chairman Thompson of Ok- fahoma The tariff, trusts and the people’s rule as exemplified in the initiative, referendum and the recall are the issues of overwhelming im- portance to the people of this State and should be incorporated in the platform which will appeal to the “progressive” ideas of Oklahema Democracy. Congressman Hamlin ef Misseurit: If the Democrats are as successful in conducting the business in the in- coming Congress as' we were in the session last summer, I do not believe that it will be possible to defeat the next Democratic nominee for the presidency. The important. issues should be integrity in the conduct of the public business, a reduction of tariff duties which will have the ef- fect to cheapen the cost of living, the enactment and enforcement of laws which will compel public utfli- ties and commercial concerns to treat the general public fairly. A pro- gressive policy is the only policy our party can pursue and win. National Committeeman Wade of Towa: The tariff and trust questions are predominant here in the West; the demand is for some definite and, as far ag possible, final legislation which will put business on a stable basis, a natural basis instead of a political basis, Policy necessarily progressive. Congressman Slayden of Texas: The tariff; trusts; anti-imperialsm; econ- omy. Congressman Gardner of Texas: Tariff; economy; a definite policy with reference to the trust question. Around these issues all others should revolve. I believe in a progressive policy, but am opposed to radical and extreme measures. State Chairman J. B. Williams ef Texas: ee + ee Ten-Year Guarantee Is Constitent | , For many years we have given a ten-year guarantee on high-grade pianos. Many of our Player- Pianos are made by sdme manufacturers whose pianos are famous all over America. It logically follows that the Player-Piano made in the ame tory as the pianos into which they are installed must be as good as the piano. The player action is only a part of the I Piano, and can be no better or worse than the other parts of the instrument. To be consistent, then, we could hardly do otherwise than guarantee our line of modern Player-Pianos for the sa period as our high- grade pianos. Durability Is Vital Durability is the most vital Player-Piano consideration, all other es- sential requirements, such as tone richness and brilliancy—delicacy of expression, and easy playing, depend on the durability of the instrument for their very existence. The one strong, impelling reason why this house warrants its full line of Player-Pianos for ten years is—their proven durability. New York Musical Age Endorses Our Ten-Year Guarantee of the Jesse French Piano Co. ‘*The service idea’’ is proving its efficacy and confirming the judgment of O. A. Field and W. A. Lippman, who inaugurated recently ‘‘the Field-Lippman service’’ for St. Louis piano buyers. ‘*Service speaks louder than words’’ in an argument that cannot fail to be impressive in this day of ‘‘bargain’’ shrieks; and it be comes conclusive in the very highest degree when it is backed by the statement: ‘‘This ad in its entiroty is a frank presentation of our policy.’’ Service Must Be Guaranteed The actual experience of time is the only sure test of a Player- , durability—it cannot be determined in any other way. Tone quality, c finish, and general appearance can be investigated. What you cannot k is how long your Player-Piano will give satisfactory service, therefore, i durability must be guaranteed. This fact being so apparent, can th be any question regarding the relative values of the one—five—and year guarantees?

Of course, in reporting to the commission they record only forty or under, but hold the others by divers means or through private agreements. The evil was glaringly shown at the San Antonio meeting by the spirit of rebellion among the higher class minor eagues. The Pacific Coast League want- ed to start something in the way of a rebellion. They want, and have wanted for a long time, some support from the other big leagues. .There wasn't a chance to get it. They have grown wise to the fact that the American and National League club owners have been far-sighted—much rore so than they themselves have been. They have discovered that the “‘big’’ leagues saw years ago that a rebel.ion against conditions was certain to come in time, and have fortified against it doubly. In the first place, they have built half-million dellar plants that the poorer leagues cannot afford to attempt to compete with. But, secondly, and this was brought out strongly at San Antonio, the major league club owners have been for years quietly buying into the big minor league clubs, so that now they can at least provent hostile action either in the American Association, Eastern or West- ern League. The Coast League was so far away it wasn’t worth while to buy

a voice in it, and it can go or stay, as it choosea. The fact is, the limit rule Is a joke. It looks as if some of the big League club owners are simply livestock brok- ers. Either that or they are striving to. save up 6000 players and then re- tire. Constructed : League Than Rival---Fullerton NOTICE that B. B. Johnson, with Mis customary modesty, it claiming that the American League is marvel- Wisl¥ superior to the National. He bases his claims on the results of the post- geason series this fall, and on that alope ‘thefé cannot be an argument. Yet Ws wrong—the superiority of the Amer- fean.. “League, if it is superior, is so plight as to be negligible. In fact, I think that the National League; taken as - whole, is a trifle the stronger. I ‘hav p. been an, American Leaguer ever aifics Comiskey came into Chicago, and } before, but Johnson’s claim is not d on facts. American League Ta for five I believe, been stronger both. in Sng and in pitching, if eight clubs be sred. But the National has beer: dily and consistently a better cou- ted league, and much. stronger on - defensive work. Athletics are now easily the best m.in either league. They are strong tack and defense as far as the in- hee age To my way of thinking they the best team ever put seeethee, ¥ with the possible exception of the Cubs of 1907-08-09. But whichever other club in the league you may study you wil) find ‘‘spotty,’’ strong in one place, very weak in another. The superiority of which Mr. Johnson béasts amounts to this: The Giants won the National League pennant not on their own strength, but because two better teams had broken and started to decay. They were easy for the Athltics. The Cubs, with bad pitching, © still showed themselves a good defensive team, but were hopelessly beaten by the strong White Sox pitching. The St. Louis series was a joke, and Cincinnati's victory over Cieveland was a mere farce. The Cardinals are much the bet- ter team in St. Louls, and Cleveland, with Gregg working and the team ‘in- tact, is better than the Reds. The Athletic-Giant struggle for the world’s championship really was the test of strength worth cohsidering. There both teams were near their best, the pitching was good and it was a test of team merit. The other sereis were more a result of conditions than proof of the strength or weakness of a team.

HE days of Massillon and Canton, TL of professional fame in the football world, were called to mind by the Texas Agricultural and Mechanica) Col- lege’s football history this season. ’Tis said that only a veteran of eight years’ service could get on the eleven, and that our own war horse, “Bull‘* Brannon, would probably be immediately dubbed “Kid’’ Brannon, should he see his way to joining the war colony of the Texas institution. When Texas State University ran against the Aggies ’tis said they thought they had engaged a steam shovel in combat. Limbs were broken, domes disarranged and tempers mislaid during the holocaust. As a result of the Aggies leaning toward the veteran instead of the youtn in its athletics, no less than six South- ern universities have sponged the Texas A. and M. from their slates forever. * * s PLAIN MANSLAUGHTER. RESENT football conditions are far - from satisfactory. Over-reform has taken the spark out of the game and trimmed some of the spirit of the contenders, too. But let us down on the knuckles, offer up a ewe lamb or something, and pray that they'll never bring back the football cf the Middle Ages, such as they still play, ‘way down in Texas. . It isn’t football—it’s fanaticism and warfare. e * e THE BLACK PERIL. HE retirement of Jack Johnson a i will not lessen the black outlook for White Hopes. Admit that Johnson will do nothing the rest of his days more pugnacious than carving the white meat of wishbones, there still re- main three stalwarts blocking the paths of our Morrises, Palzers and Kennedys. They are Langford, Joe Jeanette and Sam McVey, all Ethiopians, tried in many a hard and bloody mill and not found wanting. To make matters worse there’s another -husky in the develop- mént stage, who permanently wears a burnt-cork effect—Kid Cotton. Nothing in the “hope” line is in a class with the three first named, and the chances are that the next five years will see a black dynasty’ controlling the heavyweight championship. SAVED THE FURNITURE. ILLIE LEWIS, recently still fur- W ther reduced in pugilistic stat- ure owing to his defeat at the hands of Mike Gibbons of St. Paul was until recently an idol of Paris boxing fans. Over in that land Willie og one oc- occasion was matched with an English pug named Collins. On his way to the ring Willie stopped at the ‘‘enemy’s” dressing room and volunteered: “Say, yoh’'re a nice boy and I don’t want to hurt you. The best thing you can do is to do.a “Brodie,’ when I hit you with the right. “Yessir,” said the youngster, falling for the bluff. In the ring William let fly his right with a terrific punch at Collins. He was all but paralyzed when he saw Collins drop to the canvas and lay cold, although untouched. The management called it “‘no fight,” and thus saved the furniture of the es- tablishment. Kansas Cityans Want Game.

i = M ver Kirk, the featherweight star, sig- nalized his debut for this season by defeating Frank Kuptz at the tourna- ment given by the Columbus Club Nov. 18. Kuptz is the boy who gave Jack Shelton such a hard battle in a tourna- ment given by the same club Oct. 14 and again in the recent three-night tour- nament given by the Irish-American Club. The bout between Kirk and Kuptz was really a farce—so much so that Charley Dalwitz said it reminded him of Mutt and Jeff. The strength afid willingness of Kuptz availed nothing against the speed and skill of Kirk, and the way the latter darted in and out while de- livering a volley of jabs, hooks and up- percuts, at the same time keg@ing out of harm’s way, completely baffled Kuptz, and furnished a dazzling display of ee ptz In Disqualified. All this’ g oot Kuptz was doing his level best, but the ease of manner in which his efforts were blocked was most discouraging, and in the third round, more exasperated than: punished, he settled matters by grabbing Oliver about the neck and hanging on until disqualified. - Kirk is one of the consistent per- formers of the local ring, and he usu- ally wins.

However, Dalwitz has entered the professional ranks, so that another meeting between the two may never take place. After having defeated Haller here in an inter-city meet, they met again in Cinctnnati, amd Kirk .was declared the loser. Soon after that Haller moved to this city, and efforts were made to rematch this clever pair, but without success. After taking up residence here Haller made but ene more ap- pearance in the ring, and that was in an inter-city meet with Chicago.

Des the Aimendares Roger and Hedges Néeéd- Men to Bolster Teams) Success: of Cardinals and Browns Depends on| Proposed Trades Made at Meeting in New York. BY CLARENCE F. LLOYD, If the Cardinals are to become a first-division team in the National League T week will be an important one for St. Louis’ two baseball teams. and if the Browns are to vacate the cellar position in the American League in their 1912 races, it will depend on the proposed strengthening that is done at the New York meetings. ‘ Manager Roger Bresnahan of the Car- dinals willbe on hand in the hope of buying, begging er stealing talent frem the rival skippers in the National League. The Duke of Buckingham was far from pleased with the young talent that was sent up to him from the minor leagues. Barring one or two young pitchers, he realizes that mone of the players will bolster the League F’ark ag- gregation. Se it is up to Bresnahan to procure strength through purchases or deals. He has little trading material. He really needs all the regular members of the team and has no surplus talent which he can very well disposes of. However, as stars of the baseball world cannot be obtained through purchase, his sole means of adding strength is to trade for it. There’s a chance, although it is con- sidered a slim ene, for Miller Huggins to go to the Reds. He’s wanted there and wants to go as manager of the Cin- cinnati team. Bresnahan is willing, but will insist on getting a pretty stiff price for the “Rabbit.” If he could obtain a trio like Mike Mitchell, Dick Egan and @ seasoned pitcher, Bresnahan would probably barter. But Garry Herrmann might consider Huggins a far cheaper man and not be willing to pay such a price. From time to time there .-have been rumors that Ed Koney would figure in a trade. But the chances are that Big Ed will be doing business at the initial corner for the Cardinals when the cur- tain is rung up next spring. Speed and Hitters Badly Needed TEVE EVANS was the lone mem- S ber of Bresnahan’s gardeners who hit in anything like championship form, and the Comedian’s mark fell a few points shy of the .300 notch. Oakes did fair, while Ellis’ work was a disap- pointment. Then Bresnahan could also stand to inject some speed in his team. Among his outfielders he hasn’t a finished base purloiner. And of theinfield, Huggins is the lone member who ranks well with the pillow pilferers. Bresnahan has hopes that he can ar- range a trade or two. Harmon, Steele and Sallee, provided the last named will remains straight will do. But unless ‘two or three of the squad of youngsters develop into reliable men, he will find himself up against it for slab talent next season. So it is up to the Duke tc procure a star or two if he wants to safeguard against any cracking in the hurling department. The visit of Owner Robert L. Hedges of the Browns to the big city is an important one. Mr. Hedges Beeks tal- ent. It is also said that he seeks a manager. to replace Roderick J. Wal- lace, who is willing to step aside as ‘eader of the Sportsman's Park forces: Despite the fact that Mr. Hedges con- stantly refuses to enlighten the basebal] world as to his plans regarding a man- }new | 7 =.

He won't dispose of any, however, unless he be- lieves he is getting the better of the transaction. He needs a couple of pitchers and an outfielder or two. Men ‘who could’ re- place George Ellis and Ennis Oakes are sought, but the possibility of obtaining men who could accomplish that task is slim. in Outfield on. Cardinal Team ager, it is rumored that he wants an- other man to take Wallace’s place. He has never safd that Wallace was to be turned out. Neither has he announced that Wallace would handle his tezm in 1912. All of which would lead one to be- lieve that Mr. Hedges is angling for a man. If he is able to line up the proper party, he will announce it when the newcomer is signed. But if he is unable to procure a man whom he be- lieves will better con@itions here, it is said that Wallace will continue on the job. Just a year ago Mr. Hedges turned the biggest baseball surprise of the year when at the New York meeting he announced that he had arranged to sel! the Browns. That was the time that the Silk Stocking Syndicate of this city planned the purchase of his baseball holdings. They made an awful bloomer of the affair and Mr. Hedges held onto his club. Since then there have been other rumors that the Browns’ owner would step aside after this meeting. Whether he has arranged the sale remains to be seen. It has been hinted that he would be crowded out by other mag- nates who are said to be dissatisfied with his manner of conducting the local American League plant. Hedges Says He Cannot Be Forced fo Sell His Baseball Property crowded out. To the writer /more than once he has said, “It js my *lub. My money is invested in thq plant and JI, as the owner, cannot be d¢éprived of what belongs to me. They cannot get me out of the game unless I am willing to go.” Mr. Hedges’ prospects right now are brighter than they were a year ago. He has a fair fOundation for a team. It isn’t going to win many more games next season than it did in this cam- paign, but it is almost certain to play better ball. And as Mr. Hedges clung to the team with such dismal prospects a year ago, he'll probably hold onto it now, unless, of course, he has been ap- proached by parties who are ready to put up a large chunk of money for his property. But aside from the question of man. ager for the team, Mr. Hedges stands ready to make some deals. There are some players on the team who would make gvod trading materiai. Chief among: these is Franixc Laporte, the sec- ond baseman, and the man who led every St. Louis. player—Browns and Cardi- nals—in batting in 1911. A crowaea to Hedges he cannpt be It is said that Laporte is on the mar- of the Cincinnati matters, all » Important he hinetaese days of baseball meetings, i a ~ ene eee kat new men may be signed by local clubs to strengthen them : ‘Lake will stil! scout for the Browns.:: e \ or Fogel will run the Phila : Oe Seah gel fab ticket A. eenerai ‘Interest centering in the shattepoila: the Post. staff man, William J.

He is no longer a youngster, but his hitting ability has never been ques- tioned. He’s a great slugger and would fit in pretty snugly on a team that is seasoned and needs such a batter to round out a winning combination. In fact, Hedges willl consider a trade for most any of his players, with few exceptions. These include Jimmy Ste- puens, Earl Hamilton, Jimmy Austin and one or two others. If the Browns’ cwner believes he can bolster up his eutfit by disposing of any of the others of the squad, he won't hesitate at do- ing so. Right now, with the present squads, neither St. Louis team looks like it wil] prove a sensation in the 1912 campaign. So much depends on what the repre- sentatives of the Cardinals and Browns do along Broadway this week. M. V.

REAL BEAR Joe Jeanette and Sam McVey Are Other Colored Near- Champions. By JAMES J. CORBETT, Former Heavyweight Champion of the World. NEW YORK, Dec. 9. If a doubt exists in the minds of Gov. Dix and members of the Boxing Com- mission as to the advisability of per- mitting referees to render decisions at the termination of boxing contests, I respectfully refer them to the sporting ccolumns of the New York dailies the day following an important match. The diversity of: opinion among. the critics will startle them, or I am no judge, and ought to prove a salutary lesson. to these gentlemen who have the future of professional boxing in this State under their control. Variety of opinion is naturally to be expected where contestants are well close and evenly balanced, but the man- ner im which some of the local experts and critics pass opinion on many one- Sided affairs is amazing, to say the least. However, there was recently one “bat- tle,” if it may be dignified by that name, that brought about unanimity among the critics. I refer to the Abe Attell-Patsey Kline contest. Last sum- mer Kline caught the featherweight champion out of shape and made a good showing. Possibly he took himself too seriously after that. Abe with the proverbial handful of shot: the latter was at his best, and that means he stands alone in his class. It was a remarkable display of skill and cleverness that Abe gave us. Kline showed he had a wallop. He showed it, that’s all he did with it. Every time he aimed the punch at Abe the Iittle Hebrew master beat it with one of his own. Kline reminded me of a weak batter swinging at. one of Mathewson’s tadeaways. od = * « Jack at It Again. Johnson is still in the “retiring’”’ business. Haven’t heard much from the ebony boy of late. Joining the Magons was his last bid for publicity. No tell- ing, though, he may pull some new stuff any day. He is long overdue. I presume that just as long as the champion will have us understand he has quit the ring forever and ever, we may as well look the ground over and see what kind of talent there is in sight from which we must select his successor. On cold dope, past performances, and all the other methods of doing the Sherlock Holmes deduction stunts, the ausky fighters loom up much more dan- gerous-looking than the palefaces. Ever with Johnson on the retired list, it is no cinch that the championship crown can be wrested from the Ethiopians in the near future. Sam Langford is one stumbling in the path of the aspiring whites. Joe Jean- nette, hurdle No. 2, and if many ex: perts are to be believed, he is even a toughe® proposition than the “tar baby.” Joe tells me, if you will take his word for it, to Australia, and that he alone is tha logical successor to Mistah Johnsing. And difficulty No. 3 (Sam McVey), is certainly a refractory person when he pulls on a pair of five-ounce gloves. White Hopes Are Few. What have the whites to offer in op. position to the claims of the coiored men? Al Kaufman and Jim Flynn are the only ones who have been put through the fire, and both havé* been found wanting. Flynn, in his bouts with Johnson and Langford, and Big Al, in his most recent startling form reversal against this same Flynn. Retween Kaufman and Flynn it stands an even thing. Another contest should prove conclusively the better man. There would be no chance for excuses of poor condition, etc., were offered in evidence after their last meeting. The winner could then box Joe Jeanette, the only member of the colored quartet in this country at pres- ent, and the result would: give us at least an inkling of where we stand on the heavyweight question. Of the newcomers Tom Kennedy and Al Palzer have shown the best. Carl Morris has not made a favorable impression in his EXstern starts. Jim Flynn handed the large Westerner an unmerciful beating. The Geyer match was no test at all. Morris will short- ly have another trial when he meets Ken- nedy in a 10-round bout. Palzer, too, will be sent against harder and more experienced game in Al Kaufman. These bouts may help simplify matters, though 10 rounds are rather short for these big slow-going fellows. However. we must have patience and hope for the best.

Beginning in the nostrils it spreads to all the mucous membranes of the body, even getting The nasty discharge being swallowed, it upsets the stomach, and from the stomach it is taken into the blood, and into the stomach and lungs. poisons and deranges the whole body. The disease is all the time inclined to work its way from the nose back into the head—down into the throat—into the bronchial tubes and lungs. Herein is its greatest danger. Dr. Blosser’s Discovery While engaged in the general practice of medicine Dr. Blosser had many patients suffering from Catarrh whom he was unable to cure, al- though he prescribed for them by the rules taught in medical books and colleges. He saw that the methods of treatment were wrong and reasoned that as Catarrh is produced by. breathing cold and damp air, so it should be cured by breathing a warm, medicated vapor. After nine years of investigation he discovered a combination of healing herbs, leaves and flowers, which, when ignited, and the warm fumes inhaled would spéedily relieve all catarrhal diseases. in the accompanying illustrations the warm, healing vapor is carried directly to the very parts affected. This remedy fights and kills Catarrh sprays, douches, salves and medicated creams cannot It is a most reliable treatment, and is so simple and con- venient that it can be used at home by man, woman or child.

\ bu ‘ ean LIVELY SONGS ARE HEARD AT AUTO BANQUET ae SRN About 170 of Trade Heard Speeches at Jefferson Hotel Celebration. The seventh annual banquet of the St. Louls Automobile Manufacturers and Dealers’ Association, at the Jeffer- son Hotel, last night was attended by 170 men in the automobile and accessory trade. The affair was enlivened by a number of paraphrased songs, set to popular airs, which were sung from time to time through the evening with much gusto. The meun and song card called this feature of the entertainment “Some Melodic’ Rhapsodic Adaptations,” and a parody on Alexander’s Ragtime Band was termed “Synchophasia Idio- tista.”’ The association's official song, which has become a feature of every banquet, is sung to the air of “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp,” and is as follows: “Knock, knock, kneck,-my motor’s hit- ting, I'm on three cylinders tonight. My transmissien’s working bum And my asapark is on the hum, OQ, my carburetor isn’t working right!” Addresses were delivered by Roy F. Britton, president of the Automobile Club; Frank R. Tate, president of the Automobile Manufacturers and Dealers’ Association; John H. Phillips, chairman of the Show Committee; H. W. Blod- gett, and Dr. 8S. R. Peake. A large silver cup was presented to W. C. Anderson of the Ford Motor Co. as the trophy won by his car in the St. Louis-Kansas City run. The speeches were followed by a long vaudeville program.

Over Dog’s Hind Leg Guaranteed to Banish Fits. Hundreds of clairvoyants, fortune tell- ers, faith healers, divine healers, men- tal healers, masseurs and healers under other guises are daily obtaining large sums of money from the credulous pub- lic, says Albert H. Lawrence, chief in- spector of the Health Department, who is engaged with his assistants in ex- posing them and having them arrested and fined for failing to obtain licenses to practice. Lawrence has been employed in this capacity in the Health Department for three years, and in that time he and his assistants have had more than 200 cure- alls arrested and fined, the fines aggre- gating $15,000. In that time Lawrencs has simulated many diseases in getting evidence. In many cases he has re- ceived the treatments offered, in one case receiving a bruise on his back which he bore for three weeks. Fake Cures Are Novel. Diagnosis of disease by drawing a card out of a deck, by tying a knot in a handkerchief belonging to the patient Land feeling the patient’s bones are some o novel methods that Lawrerice has encountered in his work. The cures offered are as novel. A clairvoyant once treated him for stom- ach trouble, Lawrence says, by making passes over his head. Then she advised him to get the hind leg of a dog, take it to a graveyard at midnight and bury {it by the light of the moon. The advice cost her a $200 fine. , A faith healer told one of his assist- ants, who is six feet tall and of splendid physique, that he was minus one lung and probably would not live more than 8 few months. She said she could cure him by wrapping his lower limbs with red tape, the tape tied in bows at the knees. It was found later that this woman had used this treatment on a pa- tent that died of tuberculosis. Cure for Drinking. A woman clairvoyant informed Law- rence when he called on her for med- ical advice that he was a victim of strong drink. She proposed to cure him ty his placing a bucket of water under his bed for three nights and pointing his shoes with the heels to the north. He was soothed with the music .of chimes while she was giving the advice for which she wanted a fee of $35. A chiropractic treated him for liver trouble by placing him face down with his head cn one stool and his knees on another. The operator kneaded his spine with his hands and then used his knee, inflicting bruises. Curing Ceafness by giving patients furny books to read, treating by sound waves from classic music played on a piano, standing a patient in a bath tub and turning the hose on them are some of other treatments offered. Demand Big Fees. : Epllepsy, rheumaism, nervous allments stomach trouble and tuberculosis are the chief ills, Lawrence says, which the healers claim to cure. They always de- mand a fee, he says, far above the means of the patient and then accept a smaller fee, with the guarantee to cure omitted. Thus the patient has no re- course when the treatment fails. But some of the healers and men who Lose as surgeons actually perform op- erations. Cancer specialists are the worst offenders, Lawrence says. Some of them go so far as to extract tumors and cancers, exhibiting pleces of- chick- en liver as the malignant growth. One case is on record where a woman was operated upon for a tumor. She slipped the ‘‘tumor’’ into her handbag while the ‘surgeon"’ had his back turned. When it was analyzed the “tumor” was found to be a piece of roast beef. And the woman paid $65 for the operation. Many Are Illiterate. Ninety per cent of these so-called healers are illiterate, according to Law- rence. They would not:.only not be able to pass an examination on medical subjects, but most of them would not be able to pass one in the ordinary branches of learning. A chiropractic who was arrested and } fined had studied his art for a year in a school in Iowa. He had attended school until he was 11 years cld. He was a barber before he decided to be- come a “doctor.” His ‘medical’ edy- cation cost him $100. A carpenter in Walnut Park, who was also a chiro- practic, pummeled an assistant on the back until he was out of breath. In almost all instances where there is a suspicion that person are violating the law Lawrence visits them person- ally to learn their method. Then he sends an assistant to get the evidence. He changes assistants from time to time so that they will not become known. Has Hed Many Diseases. Lawrence himself has taken treat- ments for most ailments to which adults are subject. He says it is easy enough te have the symptoms of most diseases and to prepare a history that will bear ou the symptoms, But in obtaining evi- dence against those who olaim to cure epilepsy it is always neceSeazy to “throw a fit’ before arrangement for treatment will be made. He says he can have an epileptic fit on a moment’s notice. Backed up by a recent decision of the State Supreme Court handed down by tion of the law to visit and examine pa- tients, diagnose disease or prescribe without a practitioner's “Meense, Dr. Max Starkloff, Health Com- missioner, announced last week that Christian Science healers would be in- Judge Ferris, which makes it a viola-} GRIDIRON CLUB ELECTS. ¥ “Fag - : rh ove, Ps ; Tom.

SHOWN BIG ROLL OF BILLS Protests Against Arrest, but Opens Eyes on Seeing Friends in Rogues’ Gallery. Orville Smith steod at Broadway and Olive street at 3 o’clock yesterday after- noon, craning his neck to see the tops of the tall buildings. He wore a cellu- loid collar with a pale blue tie, a derby hat a size too large and trousers termi- nating at his shoetops. Orville is a rural neighbor of former Speaker Cannon of Danville, IIL He had been in the city since Friday and had left Mrs. Smith at the Holt Hotel, Sixteenth and Market streets, to rest while he came downtown to see the sights. A well-dressed man came up and inquired the way to the American The ater. Orville didn’t know, saying he had just come from Danville, Ill. The stranger said he was from Milwaukee and that reminded him he’d like to buy Orville a glass of beer. They had the glass and were going along Sixth street when, at the corner of Sixth and Pine, they met another well-dressed man who asked the way to ah express office. The three continued walking and the newcomer, in a burst of confidence, showed a roll of bills “big enough, by heck,” as Orville later remarked, “to choke a mule.” The man said thig roll contained $5006. In the meantime Detective Richard Joyce and Supt. John Shea of the Bu- reau of Identification had noticed the party and spotted the strangers as con- fidence men with a prospective vic- tim in tow. As the detectives ap- proached the three one of the men said to Orville: “If those men ask us anything, keep still. They look Hke officers.” Orville obeyed instructions and was taken with the others to police head- quarters, where the strangers were booked as Fred Owens of Chicago and Glenn McGrath of Milwaukee, for investigation. The money in the big “roll” was counted and found to be $110 in $1 bills. Orville protested against this high- handed way the S8t. Louis police had of arresting innocent strangers. But when he was shown the rogues’ gal- lery pictures of the two, who are known as confidence men to the po- lice, he swallowed hard two or three times. “Well, I'll be dog-goned!”’ he said. MANY ST.

9 A meeting of the Organization Com- mittee, appointed from the Business Men’s League to form plans for a $400,- 000 barge line to the Gulf, will be called this week by Murray Carleton, to ap- prove the deal made by a sub-committee for the absorption of the Mississippi Valley Transportation Co. 7 William K. Kavanaugh, president of the Mississippi Valley company, re- turned last night from Washington. The committee has offered him a cash sum between $50,000 and $55,000, and $30,000 of the stock of the new corporation, to- gether with the payment of certain ob- ligations of the Mississippi Valley com- pany. Kavanaugh, it is understood, has accepted this offer, and it now remains only for the Organization Committee to ratify it. The Mississippi Valley company has had one steel barge, with a capacity of 100 carloads, and one towboat, in opera- tion. Two more barges, built by the American Steel Co., and held at $35,000 each, he has acquired only to the extent of getting an option on them. The barges are at Memphis, and will be bought ley him and turned over to the new com- pany, as part of the deal. ne more towboat will be placed in service at once, when the new com- pamy takes charge, and the third barge will be leading while the other two are in transit: head. the.new company. The deal for the acquisition of the Kavanaugh concern by the new com- pany has been under way for several weeks.

+, TO_REDIMDE THE SENATE DISTRICTS St. Louis Circuit Bench Declares Reapportionment Ordered Is Unconstitutional. ~The St. Louis circuit judges, in gen- ‘ral terms, decided yesterday that the reapportionment of the senatorial districts of the State by Attorney- ‘General Major and Secretary of State & Roach, acting as a majority of the . Reapportionment Commission, of Which Gov. Hadley was the third, 4@nmd dissenting, member, was uncon- \ stitutional. They issued an order, de- clining to carry out the reapportion- ment of the city as the two officials had alirected. The unconstitutionality, according to the view of the judges, which is re to have been unanimous, consists ,!m the fact that St. Louis, under it, | RICH MAN DEAD WHO WORKED AS A PORTER

In the meantime the apportionment re- not mains the same. reapportionment has b OES SRE = 2 em ome been proclaimed by the Governor. Three Couldn't Agree. The last Legislature failed to re- epportion the State, following the new census, and it then became the duty of the commission, consisting of the three officials, to do so, The wembers held a number of meetings, Dut were unable to agree, because iGov. Hadley contended that the city, ‘with its increaggd population, was en- titled to seven senators. Finding that they could not bring the Govérnor to their way of think- ing, the other two made a reappor- tionment, allowing St. Louis only the s8ix senatorial districts it now has. Gov. Hadley refused to proclaim the Teapportionment. Major and Roach then notified the ‘St. Louis circuit judges:-to proceed with the reappor- tionment. Brings Question to Issue. Arguments were heard by the judges Dec. 1, with Judge Hitchcock presiding. Lon Hocker, Benjamin Schnurmacher and Senator A. S. Phil- lips spoke against the Major-Roach reapportionment. The judges took it under advisement, The question was brought to an ispue so far as the St. Louis judges ere concerned by Jesse W. Barnett ling a demand on them to make the apportionment. The action on his part is said to have been only formal, to bring the question to decision. It

A. S. PEPER’S FIRST WILL IS ACCEPTED Instrument Making Wife Execu- Fails on Account of Unsound Mind. The will made by Adolphus S. Peper Nov. 3, 1910; was accepted yesterday by the Probate Court and the will he made April 4, 1911, was rejected. The decision against the later will was made because Peper had been adjudged of unsound mind by the Court prior to the date of the will. The decision makes no difference to the widow or his infant son, for they shared alike in Peper’s $300,000 estate by each will and would have shared just the same if no will had- been made. Bach gets half of his property. The only difference is that under the ac- cepted will the St. Louis Union Trust Co. handles the estate for the widow and son and under the rejected will the vidow would have had persona] con- trol. Mrs. Peper, before her marriage, was employeu is housekeeper for Peper. He took her for a ride on the McKinley line one day to Hillsboro, Ill., where they were married.

» FAILURE OF GAS. DEVICE BLAMED ‘FORMISER'S DEATH Strange Career of Man Who Made $1a0,000, Lost Part of It and Worked as Porter. HAD $18,500: IN BONDS Brother Declares Ward Had Spent All of His Life-in Chase for Money. Investigation made yesterday by La- clede Gas Light Co. inspectors into the death of William E. Ward, who was asphyxiated in a rooming house at 718 North Third street, and who left bonds worth $18,500, the remnant of a fortune, in a safe deposit box, indicated that a contrivance attached to the gas pipes in the basement caused the fatality. The appliance was designed to check the flow of gas and lessen its volume. It had worked badly of late, according to Mrs. Tillie Meyers, proprietor of the rooming house. She believes that it at one time shut off the gas, and that then, while Ward slept in his room with the jet still open, the mechanism permitted the flow of gas again. A verdict of accident was returned by a coroner’s jury yesterday. At the gas company’s office it was stated that the appliance was not one attached by the company, but that it be- longed to a concern with which the gas company has been in litigation. An in- junction was obtained forbidding the concern to molest the part of the pipe next the meter, owned by the company, but it still has the right to cut the con- sumer’s pipe if he wishes the appliance installed. The contrivance is in the form of a bowl and cup, around which the gas flows. The pressure of the cup lessens the pressure and sometimes, when the pressure is weak, is believed to stop the flow of gas altogether. Mrs Martin tes- tified that the gas had suddenly gone out several times in the last few days, but that the fluid continued to escape from the burners. | Ward, who worked as a $10-a-weck porter in a dry goods store, left no will, so far as is known, and Public Adimin- istrator Troll yesterday took charge of the estate, and found 37 bonds of $000 each of the Greene County (Mo.) Court- house issue. The key to the box was found in Ward’s trousers pocket. F. A. Wind, attorney for Ward's relatives, witnessed the opening of the box. According to relatives who came to St. Louis yesterday, Ward was a strange character absorbed in accumu- lating money. It was shown that less than two years ago, while employed as a floorwalker by the Jones Dry Goods Co. of Kansas City, he loaned his em- ployers $46,000 to stave off a failure. When the company. went into the hands of a receiver he recovered only $18,000 of his money. Once Had $100,000. Ward's brother, L. B. Ward, was greatly’ surprised when he learned on arriving in St. Louis yesterday that Ward had been working as porter in a

’ was so cheerful that we thought he must have got most of his. money back. We never knew he was working and living in a cheap rooming house in St. Louis.”’ E. H, Harbaugh of the Ferguson-Mc- Kinney Dry Goods Co. said yesterday that Ward obtained a position as porter there about two months ago. He was paid $10 a week. After he had been there a short time he said to Harbaugh: *“You must tell me if I don’t do my fice except my own." I had a blow in Kansas City that forced me to come down to this.’’ This caused Harbaugh to make in- quiries about Ward, and he learned that the porter had been interested in the Jones Dry Goods Co. in Kansas City. FORMER GOVERNOR DENIES PEONAGE Buchtel Says Long ifs in Colorado Beet Fields Are Chosen by Workers. Ps WASHINGTON, Dec. 9—In a state- ment made public here today, former Gov. Henry A.

It was about the first money of hisfown he had ever had, and he told us he was going to run it up to a fortune. I guess he did, because at one time Bill was worth at least $100,000, “Bill kept dabbling in real estate, and he was a born trader. They used to say he was a hard man in money matters, but’ that was his nature. He could see a dollar: further than most anybody I ever saw. *“Sheller got too small for him and he went to Tamaroa, Ill. -He was agent for the Phoenix Life Insurance Co. and did a money lending business on the side. We kept hearing at home that he was getting rich. “About 27 years ago he married Miss Emma Hawkins, a school teacher at Tamaroa. Nine years later Bill’s wife left him. She told members of our fam- ily that she did it because Bill was so stingy. Bill obtained a divorce, on the grounds of desertion. His former wife ran a hotel in Tamaroa. She died 12 years ago. “After his divorce, Bill came to St. Louis. | We heard he was in the dry goods business, but he didn’t tell us much about his affairs. He visited Shel- ler several times: He had a way of always complaining that he was hard up, and we had no idea he was well-to- do, though we knew he could get the money if anybody could. “‘He went to Kansas City eight or ten years ago and worked for or was in- terested in the Swofford Bros. Dry Goods Co., which failed about five years ago. “Last October I was called to Kansas City by a message that Bill had had a nervous collapse and was in St. Mary’s Mospital there. id “I visited Bill .at the hospital and found that money matters had caused his collapse. He thought he had lost all he had in the world and it doubled him right up. That was the first I knew of the fortune Bill had rolled up, “He told me that h had a lot of thoney in the Swofford company, and that when a settlement was made he got $30,000. After that he went to work as floorwalker for the Jones Dry Goods Co. He told me that when the firm seemed about to fai] he loaned his em- ployers $46,000, taking their note for it.

CONFIRMS FIRST REPORT Second. Investigation Is Disappointed. nell WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—“The Navy Department has no other evidence con- cerning. the blowing up of the battle ship Maine than that gathered by Ue Sampson and Vreéland boards. All the Sampson Board's report was made pub- lic. The Vreeland Board’s report will be made public. It only confirms the findings of the Sampson Board.”’ This was the statement of one of the naval officers of the Vreeland Board, in answer to the charge by Col. Ewing Brady of Kansas City that the Government had all the facts concern: ing the Maine disaster. This officer said that none of the evi- dence gathered could determine whether it was a mine or floating torpedo which destroyed the Maine, other than the condition of the Maine. No wires of any description other than the Maine's were found by engineers removing the wreck. No off®er could be found why would admit knowledge of a person named Jose Zavaldo. The Spanish Legation, through Min- ister Juan Riano, makes it clear that the Spanish Government recognizes that the second report is no more sat- isfactory than the first, inasmuch as it does not attempt to explain the ex- istence of a mine, and merely as- sumes a mine destroyed the battle- ship. So far as inquiry could ascertain today, Spain expected a verdict from the Vreeland board exonerating Spain from the blame. It would have been possible, according to Spanish offi- cials, to make a suitable reply had the latter been the case, “The Spanish Government consid- ers the incident closed,”’ said Minister Riano, “and it rests wholly with the Urited States to conclude matters to the point where they will be satis- factory. The matter may be said to rest where it has rested since the end of the war—in the mutual good will: and peace between the two na- tions. As for Spain, she will not act under any circumstances, as it is not within her province to do so.” state just what is the theory of Spain, it may be said with authority that Spain considers the Maine was de- stroyed through acts arising from negligence on board.

(He has a mus- tache, and its sandy.) Miss Owens, who is manager of a department in a blg downtown store, and lives at 405 North Twenty-sixth Street, East St. Louis, made this plain and emphatic when she took the witness stand yesterday in the divorce suit of mustached Pruschansky against Rosa M. Pruschansky. He is a tailor at 4123 Olive street, and the family lives in an apartment building adjoining. Miss Owens has $2209 of stock in his concern and is interested in the balance because it is securit¥ for a loan of $8000. He Wished to be Kissed. Mrs. Pruschansky had testified that her husband once expressed a wish to be kissed by Miss Owens. When the young woman, ’faultlessly tailored, took the stand, she was asked by Attorney Ponnell, represent- ing. Mrs. Pruschansky, if she ever had kissed Pruschansky. “T wouldn’t kiss any man who wore & mustache,” she replied emphatical- ly. ‘“‘My father hasn’t kissed me since I have been grown.” The trial, which has been in prog- ress several days, came to a close yesterday, and Judge Homer took the case under advisement. Miss Owens Cause of Jealousy. Pruschansky alleged extreme jealousy on the part of his wife as one of the principal reasons for his divorce suit, and the evidence showed that Miss Owens was the principal cause of the jealousy. Mrs. Pruschansky testifiedthat while she was taking tickets at the gate of Ramona Park during a picnic, her husband and Miss Owens went row- ing and sat on a bench, holding hands. Miss Owens admitted that she and Pruschansky went rowing on the lake for about fifteen minutes, and Said Pruschansky was such a poor oarsmen that he got the skiff stuck on a mud bank, which caused Mrs. Pruschansky, standing on the shore, to break into tears and hysterical cries.. Miss Owens said she cried, tog, when she saw how the incident was affecting Mrs. Prus- chansky. She denied that Pruschansky held her hand, saying he merely took her by the hand to assist her up jhe bank after he got the boat to the shore. She said she had visited the Pruschansky home at 4127 Olive street many times, and:-that she and Mrs. Pruschansky cnce were the best of friends. She said that Pruschansky did not appeal to her except as a business partner. Wouldn't Have Him As Gift. “T don’t want him,” she declared. “I wouldn’t have him as a gift, and I don’t want to be accused of trying to steal him.” Mrs. Julia Powell, a handsome and stunningly dressed woman, asserted most positively that a private detective had strayed from the truth in testify- ing he had seen her and Pruschansky in a Washington avenue cafe with two bottles of beer on the table between them. ‘ “Beer doesn’t look good to me,” she said. “‘Furthermore, I never was in that cafe with Pruschansky, although I tave been there with my daughter.” During the reading of a deposition by Miss .Stella Dansiger of Chicago, a niece of Pruschansky, Mrs. Pruschan- Sky became hysterical and had to be taken from the courtroom by her daughter, Dena, 17 years old. She also cried at other points df the case, shak- ing her head and muttering denials of certain testimony. Pruschansky testified that his wife was so jealous she used to sleep with a razor under her pillow, and that she would not discard the weapon until he announced that he would not come home agajn as long as she kept it. He said his wife often called him bad names, once provoking him to such a'rage that he chased her ‘out of the tailor shop. Mrs. Pruschansky and her daughter testified that Pru- schansky had a pair of scissors in his hand during the chase, but he denied this. Admjts Only Small Poker. Mrs. Pruschansky accused her hus- band of gambling, but he said he did not plunge beyond the limit of small poker and “traps games, which took place at the home and in which Mrs. Pruschansky took part, “Once I got lucky and won $125 from a bunch of fellows,” said Pru- schansky, “and the very next night, through my wife’s urging, I spent the whole amount at a charity bazar,”

PARIS, Dec. 9.—The Royalists, are always fervent in France, although their political influence ceased to be im- portant long ago, were surprised and rather dismayed this week to receive from the Duke of Orleans an order that he will have no direct representative in France hereafter. The Duke of Orleans, the royalist pre- tender to the French throne, who is an exile in England, writes an open Jetter in which he expressly says that anyone assuming to be his personal representa- tive will do so without authority. In this way the Duke hopes to end the discord between two camps of his fol- lowers which began several months ago after he changed his representative here. On the one side is the newspaper who the minds of the jury over Sunday, and ii i he read straight ahead 10 minutes after adjournment time In keeping with the ruling of the Su- preme Court testimony regarding Moss Hunton’s death, the typhoid epidemic in the Swope home and the giving of a capsule to Margaret Swope was ex- cluded. eh aud ma oe ARETE PA ae | R

As a matter of fact, the cause of the Orleanists, the most important branch of royalism in France, has shrunk to a mere shadow. Tourists, particularly Americans, visiting France, are prone to discuss the possibility of the mon- archy some day replacing the present republic. But these discussions spring more from romantic speculation than from any knowledge of the situation. The French Republic was never strong- er, more solidly placed on its founda- tions than at this moment. The Royal- ists proclaim themselves openly in the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, bur their number is insignificant; they fail to hold even the balance of power when the other parties are closely divided. Among the working classes no desire for the restoration of the monarchy is apparent. The last stronghold of those who still retain loyalty to a King of France is found among the aristocracy. The Catholic Church has always been royalist in its tendencies, but since the separation of church and state this influence is not as far reach- Ping as it was. Many officers in .ce French army and perhaps the majority of those holding highest rank in the navy belong to the old nobility or aristocracy, but the new generation is quickly. crowding these representatives of the ancient life of France into the background.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—The many who jumped to death from the dome of the Pulitzer Building last Wednesday after- noon was Bryce Lewis, the first Fed- eral spy of the Civil War. He was 83 years old and had been living in Jersey City, a pensioner of the son of an An- dersonville companion. He killed him- self to escape poverty and because his application for a pension had been re- fused. Lewis in his services as a spy was twice captured and once condemned to

The fundamental principle of military operations—secrecy—has. been practitally abrogated by the aeroplane. In Utited States Army practice, it has scouted by night with searchlights and reported the information obtained’ by wireless to field headquarters 20 miles away.

Seers, looking into the future, see in the aeroplane a great instrumentality for peace. It may end a conflict between warring na- tions by bearing proffers of capitulation or of mercy. It may fly, more swiftly than an express train, from hostile capital to capital with papers of negotiation for peace. Its employment as the “‘eyes”” of an army may make Military surprises, such as spelled victory for many generals from Caesar to Stonewall Jackson, impracticable. Its horrid potentialities as an engine of de- struction, dropping deadly bombs upon armies, forts and cities, may make the idea of war insupportable to refined peoples.

The Italian Minister of War, Spingardi, accepted volunteer aviators to the number of 24, ineluding such nationally celebrated names as Manisero, Rossi, De Droce, Ra- massotti, Ruggerone, Da Sava, Cagno, Ve- rona, Pizzagalli and Gianfelice. Capt. Piazza and Capt. Moizo, of the army aeroplane corps, are said to have reported to the Italian army the advance of 6000 Arabs and Turks against the city of Tripoll, in time to make their attack futile. During the battle of Sciara-Sciat, Lieut. Gavotti and Capt. Piazza, soaring above the enemy’s lines, afforded a gage by which Italian gunners on the battleships could aim their fire. On several oeeasions bombs. contain- ing picrate of potash were dropped from aeroplanes upon masses of the foe. ‘‘The og hMum

results were disastrous to the latter,’’ the dispatches state. It would be quite @ »racticable for aero- plane ambulances to ¥ lunteer to the Red Cross Society. Instead’ of outlining a tar- get at which agents of murder could be launched, the aeroplane faight soar as a sign above the scene of greatest distress. Rather than letting fall deadly missiles upon helpless soldiers, the aeroplane might drop a dispatch informing them of the con- clusion of peace. In a sort of unconscious symbolism, a German inventor has designed an aeroplane shaped like a bird, which he has named ‘Die Taube,’’ or, ‘*The Dove.’’ ‘‘How beantiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that pub- lisheth peace!’’ sang Isaiah.

PAY OF THE TWO SINGERS Special Cable to the Sunday Post-Dispatch Magazine. LONDON, Dec. 9.—Orville Harrold, Hammerstein’s new tenor, the former coffin boy of Muncie Ind., is receiving $300 per week. Felice Lyne is being paid $200 per week.

-“Orville’s changed some,” remarked a gray- haired farmer after Harrold’s last concert at Muncie, “and he don’t seem so friendly-like, but I s'pose singin’ is a honorable occupation, anyway, and the pay certainly beats farmin’,” Mrs. Harrold ig as proud of her husband's success as he could possibly be. The minute that Harrold learned, conclud- ing his initial performance in London, a few nights ago, that he had scored a great success in his role, he sent for a messenger boy and cabled to: the wife and children in Muncie, “I have succeeded. Will send for you in a few days.” Since then the wife and family bave been busy making arrangements for their de- parture across seas. Mrs. Harrold smiled happily as she talked of her distinguished husband. “IT always knew it was in him,” she said. “I used to tell him in those days ‘’way back yonder when he was driving a delivery wagon and singing at his work—he always would sing at his work—that some day he would be the world’s greatest tenor and I believe he now is that. The London critics praise him so highly that nobody can longer doubt it. “Marriage often quenches the spark of genius in a husband or wife, but I determined when I married Orville, on realizing long be- fore anybody else did, that he possessed a won- derful voice, that he should never say of me that I was the cause of his failing to reach the position in the musical world for which I always have known he was fitte’. “And I have been well rewarded. Once or twice a year iny children and myself see the husband and father and theBe are gala occa- sions. Nearly every day, too, we hear from him by letter and sometimes by telegram or cable, and after every message we plan of the

SCAR HAMMERSTEIN has taken a back seat. ( is Orville Harrold, a singer, who had the audacity to make his European debut in the most difficult role known to grand opera. Harrold’s success as Arnold in ‘‘ William~Tell’’ furnishes the sensation of Hammerstein’s invasion of London. Owing to the impossibility of finding a tenor who could sing the chief role, it has been many years since Rossini’s Harrold sang it, however, and what is more, sang it in the same key in which it was written. The audience which, unlike the opening night, was typically English, went wild with enthusiasm over Harrold’s marvelous high C's and even high D's, which he took without the slightest symptom of effort or fatigue. ‘‘He is the greatest living tenor,”’ scenes while the audience was calling Harrold for a third time before the our- tain. ‘‘He is the first man in 20 years who can sing that role.

Detective William J. Burns Caught the Los Angeles Dynamiters |

Capturer’s Own Story of the Long Search That Ended in the Arrest of McNamara and McManigal and How He Secured the Evidence That Forced Their Confessions

From an article by Harvey J. O'Higgins reproduced by permission of McClure’s Magazine. HEN Burns began to talk about \W the case of the Los Angeles dy- namiters it was amusedly, wita the pleasure of a business man relat- ing the intricacies of some ‘“deal”’ that he had just closed successfully. “You he said, “‘we began on this in- vestigation away back in September, a month before the explosion in Los An- geles, Sept. 4, 1910, Sunday night. “At least, that was the night of the dynamiting that we were first called in on. “On Sunday night, Sept. 4, about halt past 10, there were two explosions in a foundry belonging to Lucas & Sons in Peoria, Ill One wrecked the foundry and the other damaged a big hoisting crane in the yard; and the night watch- man would have been killed if he hadn't been met just outside the building by sone friend who was going by and stopped to talk to him. “Almost at the same minute another explosion blew up some bridge girders that were lying in the yards of the Peo- ria & Pekin Union Railway, about four miles away, in East Peoria, acros§ the Illinois River. The explosive was evi- dently nitroglycerin; it had gone through a big, solid girder like a paper hoop, and fused the edges of the hole in a white heat. “There had been rain about 10 o'clock, and some of the yard watchmen had taken shelter in an empty box car. They came out again at 10:20. Ten minutes later the explosion broke up their box car, so there wasn’t enough of it left to clear away. If they hadn't got back on their jobs as. soon as the rair stopped, they would never have punched another time clock.” Sent Out Chicago Men. see E laughed good naturedly. “The H girders beldnged to McClintic, Marshall & Co. of Pittsburg, one of the largest concerns of this kind in the world. They were building the bridge @cross the river for the railway. They wired my Chicago office and I sent out cre of our best operatives to get on the ground and begin.’’ He put out an explanatory hand, ar- restingly. ‘‘Now, let me tell you, first, that these Peoria explosions werer't ai1ything new in their line. The Inter- ational Association of ‘ Bridge and Structural Iron Workers had called a national strike against the American ridge Co. in August, 1906, because a subcontractor was hiring nonunion men. Two or three attempts were made during the summer and fal! of 1905 to dynamite works that the company was engaged on, and some nonunion workmen were asftaulted—one blinded on a Buffalo job ty having acid thrown in his face, and a timekeeper there beaten unconscious; and twice dynamite was found in the lireboxes of hoisting engines—and that sort of thing. “Then, on May 1, 1906, most of the lurge structural iron companies got to- gether under the name of the National Erectors’ Association, and declared for the ‘open shop’—for the right to employ union and nonunion workmen as they leased, and for the power to protect their companies and their investments frein the absolute and irresponsible dic- tation of walking delegates, such as the notorious Sam Parks. So the fight for the ‘closed shop,’ which the unions were trying to force on the companies, nat- trelly spread all over the country.”’ Troubles Localize in Ohio. 46 T was in 1906 that they found the first ‘clockwork bomb’—on a Pitts- burg Construction Company’s job in Cleveland. I'll explain what I mean by a clockwork bomb in a minute. “In 1907 the troubles seemed to localize in Ohio. The American Bridge Company lost a boisting engine in Cleveland, and there were explosions on a Cleveland Short Line bridge and a viaduct at Mills Creek on the Lake Erie. A McClintic- Marshall man had his: skull fractured by an assailant at Pittsburg and a fore- man on a Pittsburg Steel job in Ashta- bulla, O., was assaulted, and he shot and killed one of the men attacking him. The Cleveland local union was involved in this assault, and the Erectors’ Asso- clation got the idea that the Cleveland - union was responsible for most of the explosions. “In 1908 the dynamitings amounted to a ‘reign of terror.” We were given a record for that year of 20 big explosions on dif- ferent works, besides found attempted ex- piosions and three cases of tampering with machinery. There were explosions in Cleveland, where some girders were blown up; at Elsdon, Ill., where a build- ing was wrecked; in Clinton, Io., on a railroad bridge; on a Pittsburg construc- ‘tion job at Chicago; on a bridge across the Raritan River at Perth Amboy, N. J.; on a B. & O. bridge near Bradshaw, Md.; on the Chelsea pliers in the city Of New York; in bridge materials for the American Bridge Company in the Pennsylvania Railroad yards at Phila- delphia; on a bridge over the Miami River at Dayton, O.; on railroad bridges or viaducts at Bay Chester, N. Y., Atkin, Md., Somerset, Mass., Buffalo, Cincin- nati, St. Louis. and in buildings at Cleveland and Kansas City—and so on. On the night of July 1 a bridge was blown up on the Lehigh Valley Railroad at Buffalo just a few minutes before @ passenger train was due, and the train was stopped within 200 feet of plunging in the wreck and killing the passengers. Conditions Bed as War. “é HE thing got so bad that a war a. wouldn't havé been much worse. For 1908 and down to the time of the Peoria affair in September, 1910, we made a list of % destructive explos- fons, three other unsucceasful attempts, and seven assaults on workmen. A via- duct in Hoboken, N. J., was blown up March 1908, by a charge of dynamite that wrecked several neighboring build- ings and nearly killed a number of peo- _ ple who lived around there. A viaduct _ over-the New York Central tracts in Buffalo, N. Y.. was wrecked in Octo- ‘ber, 1999, by an explosion that drove Pane of a bridge column through the _ ¥alls of the nearby houses, A trestle for PAGE FOUR. a street railway in Pittsburg was blown up in the night of July 15, 1910, and if a street car had been passing at the time all on board might have been killed. Four Explosions in Indianapolis«. 4¢7N Indianapolis early in the morn- ing of Oct. 26, 190%, four simul- taneous explosions wrecked build- ings on which a contractor named Von Spreckelson was working. One dam- aged the Central Union Exchange build- ing, another the public library building, a third Von Spreckelson's planing mill, and the fourth his barn; the latter took fire from the explosion and _ burned horses, Carriages and automobiles. ‘A New York Central bridge across East Ferry street in Buffalo was dyna- mited, in mistake apparently for an ‘open shop’ bridge tnat was being built near by. Materials belonging to the Pennsylvania Steel Co. were dynamited on a pier in New York City in May, 1910, and after the explosion parts of an alarm clock and a dry battery were found, indicating the clockwork bomb. There were other explosions in Chicago, Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburg, Philadel- phia, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Boston, Detroit, Salt Lake City, Omaha, Green Bay, Wis., Steubenville, O., Indiana Harbor, Ind., Mount Vernon, IIl., Dav- enport, Io., Greenville, N. J., Superior, Wis., Clinton, Ind., and elsewhere. After an explosion in the plant of the Pan-American Bridge Co. at Newcastle Ind., the works wére unionized’ and a member of the Executive Committee of the International Association of Iron Workers assured the general manager that the compuny wouldn’t be molested again. Many Searched in Vain, 66 OW, of course’’—he put up his N notebook and _ took off his glasses-—-‘‘of course. all these plants and buildings and bridges and viaducts weren't being destroved with- out some attempt being made by the companies to find out who was destroy- ing them. A number of different de- tective agencies hadbeen put on the trail. One had drawn $40,000 without turning up a dynamiter. Some of the city authorities had offered big rewards —the Mayor of Indianapolis had offered $10,000 for the men responsible for the Von Spreckelson explosions. But the detective agencies had kept turning in reports of the ‘to be continued’ sort —just going to catch the villain in the next chapter al) the time—and there didn’t seem to be any prospect of ar- resting any one, much less of stop- ping the explosions. Consequently, you see, the call from McClintic, Marshall & Co. put me on my mettle. I resolved to get those dynamiters and to get the ‘higherups,’ if there were any behind them.’’ He threw out an emphatic forefinger. “I’m no respecter of persons when they’re criminals. If I had found evi- dence in this case to implicate the pres- ident of the largest corporation in the United States and the Board of Direc- ‘tors, I'd have been right after them all. That’s my business, my calling. I’m conducting a detective agency. When I'm employed to find out who com- mitted a crime I go out to find him. I don’t care a row of red apples who he is or where he is. The people who call me an ‘enemy to ‘labor’ for running down these dynamiters are as muddle headed as the jawsmiths in San Fran- cisco who called me an ‘enemy of cap- ital’ for going after the big fellows in the graft investigation out there. When I have my case against a criminal I put the clamps on him just as quick whether he has diamond rings on his fingers or callouses as big as hoofs. That’s none of my affair.’’ Find Clock Bomb in Peorta. HEN he had relieved his indigna- \W tion against the men who had been accusing him of “conspiring with capital to crush labor’’—and had rounded out his opinion of them in two or three sentences of comprehensive and sOul-satisfying invective—he continued with the Peoria case: “The explosions at the Lucas foundry hadn't left any clew to anything there; but in the railroad vards at East Peoria, among the bridge girders, a watchman had picked up an unexploded clock-work bomb. Now, then!’’ He plucked up his shirt sleeves to clear his wrists for ex- planations. ‘“‘They had sawed out a piete of board about the width of a _ barrel stave and, say, nine.inches long, and they had fastened a small dry battery to it with wires that held the battery lying on its side. [n front of the bat- tery they had fastened a little alarm clock. There was the usual thumb key on the back of the clock to wind the alarm, and they had soldered to the flap of this thumb key a thin strip of metal bent down in such a way that if the kev were turned the strip would make a contact with another strip that had been attached to one of the poles of the battery. de > 3 ; Pee ‘ : eae, alarm had been set for 1 e clock—the same as on the Times Building—but I understand that it had been wound teo tight. Los Angeles in a Panic. 66 HERE had been a strike of the 2 iron workers in. Los Angeles. and the Merchants and Mann- facturers’ Association had been helping in the fight for the ‘open shop.’ So had Gen. Otis in his newspaper. An ‘ant'- picket law’ had been passed, and ther had been a number of arrests under it. and a union labor leader had been im- prisoned for assaulting a nonunion workman, and altogether things hai been pretty warm. When the two bombs were found, after the explosion, the town went panicky. It looked as if some madman were loose with enougii dynamite to destroy all Los Angeles, ‘“T was on my way there to attend the annual convention of the American Bankers’ Association—whose detective work is all d@ne by our agency—when I got a wire that Mayor Alexander of Los Angeles wanted me to undertake the investigation of the dynamiting. I telegraphed our operative, Detective Al- len, to come on from Indianapolis, be- cause he would be able to identify the bomb if it were one of the ‘McGYaw’ pattern. And after a meeting with the Mayor I started to work. Trail Plain to Follow. 64 HE trail was as plain as the E lines in the palm of your hand. The dynamite in the bomb was a high explosive—80 per cent—gelati':. And dynamite of that grade is little used and is invariably made to order. We soon found the office of a powder company in San Francisco where the or- der for it had been taken. On Sept. 2% a man giving the name of ‘Leonard’ had called there to purchase dynamite for his employer, ‘J. -B. Bryce,’ and he had asked for the 80 per cent. They asked him what he wanted it for. He said he wanted it to blow up stumps with. They objected that it was tov powerful and dangerous an explosive 1o be used for that purpose. He replied that there were some bowlders to be bldsted, too, and that anyway ‘Bryce’ wanted the 380 per cent and he had to get it. “Later ‘Leonard’ ‘and ‘Bryce’ called together and paid for 1000 pounds of per cent and took a receipt, and were told the explosive would be delivered tu them at the company’s works in Giant. Cal. The officials of the powder com- pany had been made suspicious by the actions of the men, and they warned the secret service department of tie Southern Pacific Railroad of the pur- chase of the dyuamite—because § they thought it might be used to wreck a train. When the dynamite was ready for delivery they warned the railroa‘’ Jetectives again, but no attention was paid to them. Tracing the Dynamite. 66 HE men called to get the dyna- T mite at the factory in Giant. but they came without the proper order for delivery from the San Francisco office.. A third man, giving the name of ‘Morris," was set to get the order. Then the three arrived to- gether in a small power boat to cerrv away the explosive from tie Giant works and no more was seen of them. ‘‘We found the place where the boat had been hired; we discovered that the dynamiters had changed the name from the Peerless to the Pastime, and we traced it in its cruises from place to place. We turned up the remainder of the dynamite in a house in South San Francisco,- where all but one or two boxes were atill stored, each box wrapped in burlap and all covered over with a tarpaulin that bore the name of the maker. He identified it as one that had been bought by a man named ‘Cap’—the man ‘Morris,’ who had called for the order for the delivery of the dynamite. ’Cap’ had actually given the tarpaulin dealer his home address, and there we found that he was a, David Caplan, a San Franciscan, who had never had any connection, apparently, with the labor unions. Chicago Man Involved. 64 E had ro difficulty then in \VV identify¥ing ‘Leonard’ as M. A. Schmidt, a former Chica- goan who had been rooming in a house in Mission street. He had at one time been a member of the Mill Worker's union in Chicago, but he had apparently not been connected with the unions on the coast. Awd finally we found where ‘J. B. Bryce’ had been rooming, too: but we could learn nothing of him, ex- cept that he was apparently the leader of the three. “Of course they had all disappeared and I can’t tell vou how far we trailed them, nor where we lost them--for reasons of policy. There’s some of this story that can’t be told till it’s told at the trial. We don't want anybody ar- ranging any alibis in adva-oce. “One thing that puzzled us was the fact that no one answering the descrip- tion of ‘McGraw’ of the Peoria explosion had been working on the Los Angeles explosion: yet the two bombs were ex- actly alike. “Now see how simply my ‘theory’ worked out. ‘McGraw’ hadn't been con- cerned in the Los Angeles affair, and he didn't know that evervone hadn't for- gctten about the Peoria explosions, so he came back to Indianapolis to get into tuuch with John J. McNamara, the sec- reiaiy-treasurer, and our men recog- nized him as answering the description trat we had of ‘McGraw,’ and they pro- ceeded to ‘tail’ him. They ‘took him’ back to Chicago, where he had his wife and family. His rea! name proved to be McManigal—Ortie McManigal—and we investigated him and put another squad of operatives to watch him and his hovae. “One day he took a train to a place called Kenosha, in Wisconsin. and our men followed him and saw him meet @ taar. who answered the description of ‘J. R. Bryce’ of the Los Angeles trail. ‘Mryce’ turned out to be Jim McNamara, Yn ‘ ee ee 4 tA & = S a brother of the secretary-treasurer. living with his mother in Cincinnati. And after that, wherever those men went, night or day, singly or together, they had a bodyguard of operatives tail- ing thém. Tracked Men for Months. ND there’s the trick that so'ves most of the detective mysteries these days—the ‘tailing.’ It’s what good palming is to sleight of hand. It'« the thing the operative has to learn betore he can move on a case at all. Ye has to learn to follow a man on the street, in railroad trains, on street Cars, ir hotels, picking him up and dropping birn and picking him up again, without ever really losing sight of him and with- cut ever being seer or suspected him- self. We kept track of McManigle and Jim McNamara in that way for months. Our men even followed them on a hunt- ing trip, and ‘roped’ them, as we say— made friends with them and camped and hu:ted with them. We got a whole- some respect for Ortie McManigal’s and Jim McNamara’s ability with a gun, toc. They cou'd stand off at a good dis- tance and roll a tomato can ajong the ground with revolver shots. Planning the Arrests, 66 ELL, so it went on, until I de- \VV cided that we had all the evi- dence we needed and couldn't get any more without an expenditure that I couldn't afford to make« We de- termined to arrest the dynamiters the next time they went on a ‘job, and we planned to take McManigal and the two McNamaras together, or simultaneously, so that no one would be able to warn the others; or remain (ree to destruv the evidence that we thought we'd find if we could get to it first. “In a campaign of this sort the arrest is as important a piece of letective work as anything in the whole b.isiness. “On April 1) our operatives, fullowing McManigal and Jim McNamara from Chicago and Cincinnati, met in Toledo and wired us: ‘Number one met number two.’ That was our signul to begin. 1 went to Chief of Detectives Capt. Steph- en B. Woods at Chicago police head- quarters to get assistance, and I fent my son Raymond, the manager of our Chicago office, with more of cur men and two Chicago officers t. Tvledo, w th instructi ize the dynamuters, if possible, with the bombs in their hands. Our party registered at a hotel opposite the one in which McNamara and Me- McManigal were stopping, and watched them all day. It became apparent that they were not going to do iny dynamit- ing in Toledo. Next morning they went to the railroad station and bought tick- ets for Detroit. They wetched ul! the last moment before they got on the train—to be sure that they were not fvl- lowed! Feared Great Loas of Life. r HEY sat in a day coach full of T women and children, and they had suit cases that presumably contained dynamite—besides being fully armed, of course—and our detectives de- cided not to tackle them where a blunder might cause a great loss of life. Coming into Detroit, they showed a good deal too much interest in several bridges that they passed. It became plain that De- treit was to be their objective point. As a matter of fact, we learned later that they had five ‘jobs’ to do there! “When the train stopped, they got off and scrutinized everyone who came out of the cars, and then they wandered around the streets rather aimlessly un- til they came to the Oxford Motel. Our men watched them register and argue with the clerk—who wasn't able to give them a room right away—and then they checked their suit cases. That was the cue for the arrest. The lobby was crowd- ed with a theatrical troupe and McNa- mara elbowed his way through towards the door, with McManigal following. McManigal! was in handcuffs before Mc- Namara missed him. We grabbed Mc- Namara at the door. As it happened, they had left their revolvers in their cult cases—along with a rifle that was fitted with a Maxim ‘silencer’ for pick- ing off night watchmen, six clock bat- teries of the Los Angeles and Peoria pattern, slightly improved, caps, wires, tools, and even a battery tester. ‘Well, what the hell's the matter?’’ McNamara kept demanding. ‘What's this for?’ Charged With Safe Blowing. ‘6 E had arranged to take them \W on a charge of safe biowing, because we were arresting at the same time some twelve yveggmen who were wanted for cracking safes in banks belonging to the American Bank- ers’ Association; and we made _ the charge to them that they had blown open a safe in Chicago on the previous Saturday night—knowing that McMan- igal had been down on State street in (‘hicago, Saturday night shopping with his wife «nd children, and belleving that he would think he could easily prove an alibi on the charge. We took them to the Detroit Police Station and made this charge against them, and—as we had expected—MceManigal agreed to sign a waiver and return with us to Chicago M.Namara stood out for his ‘rights,’ but McManigal persuaded him to sign, too, and come along. And he came.” Confessed Without Third Degree. 64 CMANIGAL, when I saw him, he was rolling cigarettes and smoking nervously. I warned him as to his rights, as I had warned McNamara; and then I went over the case with him, telling him where he had been and what he had been doing for months past, and proving to him that we had a perfect and complete case against him, then left him, saying that if he concluded he wanted to see me he could send for me. A few hours later he sent for me and gave me the truth about the whole conspiracy. There was no ‘third degree’ used. I have never used it in my lfe. “It was necessary to wait for the ex- tradition paners from California before we colld proceed with our arrests. Me- Manigai and Jim McNamara had been caught red handed—but John J. Me- Namara was another sort of game. éé -<

Afraid of Alarming Others. | 64T\UT while we were waiting we RB had to prevent him from tak- ing alarm. Our men who were watching him reported that he seemed Wortied and uneasy.

He ould suppose that the two men, if caught, wou!d ‘stand pat,’ and trust to kim and their other frien@s to assist tuem at their trial. He wouldn't guess— any more than McManigal had guessed— how complete our case, was against him. - ‘“‘When the papers arrived, they weri brought by the Assistant Prosecutin| attorney of Los Angeles, with two’ Lo Angeles police detectives and a Deput Sheriff. We went to Indianapolis an: appeared before the Governor. He foun the papers correct, and necessarily he authorized the warrant for McNamara’ aivest. That warrant was taken by thi ios Angeles officer and presented by him to the Chief of Police of Indlianap- clia, who detailed two of his men tf tave McNamara into custody. “T accompanied them to the headquar- tcrs of the Iron Workers’ Union, wher tle Executive Committee had been in session all week. We knew from out men that John J. McNamara was sti there. An Indianapolis officer knocked et the door and asked for McNamara. Tle man who had answered the knock said: ‘I am that gentleman.’ The offi- cer replied: ‘The Chief of Police wants te see you.’ Barn Full of Dynamite. (4 Ae answered our summons at

the door. He was in appear- ance a mechanic, as he was it fact, for he was an iron worker and member of the union. We asked him to take us to his barn. It was aow 7 o'clock in the evening and growin dark. When we entered the barn w saw a piano box in one corner of it. ‘Jones,’ I said, ‘whose box is that? Whom does it belong to?’ : ‘He replied, ‘To J. J.

In the sawdust with which the box was packed were 40 pounds of dynamite and a mali tin of nitroglycerin. | “Our next step was to make speed back to the American Central Life Building, where the police officers were still on guard at the doors of tae Exec- utive Committee's council] room. here we found a safe which the union of- ficlals declared themselves unable to open. The Superintendent of Police sent: for an expert safe cracker. When “he safe had been 4rilled and forced the books were taken from :t for examina- tion. And all this was done by avthor- ity of search warrants in a criminal case. | . Factory for Infernal Machines. b6 HEN we proceeded to the base- ag ment, where the union had a sort of ‘vault’ that had been puilt by Secretary McNamara’s orders —for the storage of more ‘hooks’ ap- parently. None of the keys in my pos- session would open it. A police offcer forced the clasp of the padlock, and we on the flour inside, four pack- ages containing, in all, ebout eighty pounds of dynamite, each pa kage wrapped in newspapers, and « corner of each torn open as if to make a hole for the insertion of a fuse. “We found also 14 of the little aiarn clocks that were used to expliofe the bombs, a box of fulminating “aps, some vards of insulated wire, a number of the metal «trips that were to be attached to the thumb kevs of the alarm clocks, and some odds and ends of electrical ap- paratus to be used In the manufacture of ‘infernal machines.’ ‘We found on the bureau of John J.

In short, having rounded up the three men together, we were able to find all the evidence we. needed to support every detail of our found, case against them, even without Me Manigal’s confession.” | i

OU have asked me my opinion regarding the manner in which American ladies dress themselves—the qualities I find and the defects I observe. I do not believe that the ladies of any other nation spend as much on dress as American ladies spend. They are willing to pay the price, and they get the best. They certainly wear the richest dresses in the world. In regard to taste, one can only speak in gen- eralities.. Taste is an individual (expression. Generally speaking, the American lady who comes to Paris dresses with as yood taste as can be found anywhere, and this quality of good taste is to be particularly remarked in the dresses of those American ladies who make their home in Paris. If I confine myself to generalities and discuss the American lady and her dresses in the aggre- gate, | can see nothing to find fault with. American ladies are generally well corseted, which is all important in this matter. They have good figures. They carry themselves we!!. They wear their fine clothes better.than any one else in the .world. It is probably true that the French lady can dress better or as well as the American lady on a small sum of money, but this again is dué not so much to the wearer of the dress as it is to the maker, for it is certainly true that in Paris one finds in all grades the best dressmakers in the world. This leads me to a criticism | American ladies are too disposed to model from a well-known house rather than sive the time and thought necessary to having dresses made for themselves. These models are naturally repeated times for many people, with difference in tones, so that the origina] effect is lost, and a mode! is often bought by a person it does not suit, or so badly copied that it is worse than ruined. For those ladies who buy their America it is of course more difficult to get that perfection of combination of artistic designing and artistic workmanship, which can be obtained make. ta e a might many dresses iu only in Paris. The Americans may say what they please about it, but it is impossible to reproduce in America those dresses that one can get in Paris. I do not mean an individual dress, of course. I am speak- ing on a general basis. There is an atmosphere here in Paris which no other city has, and which communicates itself to artistic expression, and this atmosphere is 4s noticeable in dresses as it is in pictures. Per- sonally I do not hesitate to declare that I could not in New York or in London achieve the same results in creating dresses as I can achieve here. It is simply something indescribable, that ex- ists, and which, because we can feel it and can- it or touch it, we cal] atmosphere. perfectly well aware that they get the leading Paris models in New York practically as soon as they are shown here, but it is almost an impossibility to repeat these models in the same way that they are repeated in the hands of French workers. The various combinations that go to make up a dress, if by any chance the model is changed in color, are never the same when made outside of Paris. No, those happy com- binationg that are in a large measure the dress itself are made only here. I can give you a striking example, i!- lustrated by the photograph of Mme. Pierat of the Comedie Francaise in “Les Marionnettes.” This is the Tamous dress that has been copied all over the world, the first one to have the shoulders dif- ferent—one embroidered, the other plain. Now I have seen that dress, which is not see | am of i

.

known as the Pierat, copied everywhere, but lI have yet to see one copy that did not fai] in the points that made the original remarkable. This uress in the piece was supposed to be quite daring. It is so descriveu vy the play- wright, but as it is the dress of a young and SUNDAY MAGAZINE. ‘ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. 4~DECEMBER 10, 1911, 2g UE GOES fe Gash ae Ae Rie

good wife it must not be made in any sense Vus- gar, and it must not be grotesque. | In other words, it must be daring in point of fashion rather than in point of modesty. The copies have snown violent contrasts of colors or a daring cut that gave this dress an entirely dif- ferent significance. The dress worn by Mme. Megard in the new piece at the Theater Antoine is supposed to be the dress of a young widow who is not dis- consolate over tne loss of her husband. There is just enough mourning In hm -v be correct, and. yet it is light enough to show vue state of her mind. | This dress, which can be truly said to be thea very latest model snown in Paris, has already | had a remarnable success simply because it car- | ried out the idea intended. If tnat same dress is made with a combination not so happy in its arrangement you will get an ordinary dress. | I consider the cultured American iady the best-dressed lady in the world. | The dress of the average American in America E will probably equal the dresses of the ladies | anywhere else in the world except in Paris. | It is sometimes said tuat American ladies are | overdressed. 1 have one answer to that, whica | seems to me conclusive. The American lady dresses to please her hus- | hand, and her husband does not consider her | overdressed, for he is willing and even anxious | for her to spend enough money on her clothes | the best-dressed woman in. to be what she is, the world. The New York work girl runs her sister in Paris a very close race, although the Parisian | sork girl is famous for the chic and style of her | -lothes. | Only one other criticism I can make. The) \merican lady is lke the American man, always’) in a hurry, and is sometimes a little too fond of; buying dresses ready-made to suve herself time and trouble. | Women cannot expect the same perfection in af ~eady-made dress as in a dress made purposely” for them.

I can’t keep from believin’ that sometimes, probably, King George wishes he might enjoy the same blessed perquisites in this regard that old Henry the Eighth did, although I've no doubt that he’s too smart to express them longin’ desires around the house.” “D’ye spose it’s true about him bein’' hen- pecked?” said Sticky, mindful of certain things he had read in the press of the day. “Well now, suh,”, said the Judge, “I doubt whether in the case of a King you could use the term henpecked, but I think I violate no confi- dence in statin’ that probably he’s considerable queen-pecked at times.

NEW THINGS IN TOYLAND

Copies in Miniature of Things Used by Grown-Ups Please “Kiddies” Most.

———

HE approach ot Christ- mas brings the subject of presents to the front again, and perhaps its most perplexing aspect is how 10 pease the little ones. There are, of course, the old reli- able toys. with which the. average child can be pleased, but there is also the difficulty of se- lecting gifts that have the combined charm of novelty and practibility. A change that amounts almost to a revolution has taken place in the mystic realm presided over by the good Saint Nicholas, as a tour through the little folks’ department of any big store will’ prove. The commonplace toys are losing their hold, and new presents that have both novelty and practicability are about to have their day. The general tendency is to copy in miniature the things used by the grown-ups, and this has re- sulted in the production of some most attractive presents for the little folks. These new presents are not intended to wholly supplant the old favorites, but for children of a serious turn of mind the jolly little man from Toyland could not select better gifts. One of the new things being shown in St. Louis stores is an immense Noah's ark mounted on wheels, and intended to be used as a receptacle for smaller toys. It is about three feet long anc two feet high, and the sloping roof is removable. The ark is gaily decorated ::" has the usual complement of animals at the windows and on the outer deck. The inside, how ver, is intended wholly as a storage room for the smaller ar- ticles of playroom and nursery, and the fact that the ark can be dragged by a string from one part of the house to another is additional evi- dence of its worth. Another wheeled receptacle for toys is some- what larger than the ark, and has a flat cover instead of the sloping roof of the ark. It, too, is pleasingly .ecorated, a border of the popular ‘Dutch kiddies” being arranged around the top. The difficulty of inducing children to. wear aprons to protect their clothing has been over- come, it seems, in little aprons being offered as présents. Those for boys are made bib-style in imitation of the aprons used by carpenters and

The aprons are washable, being made, as a rule, of cream-colored crude linen. For little girls, Dutch aprons with wide sailor collars have been designed. They are trimmed with bright-colored braid, made in imitation of the Dutch cross-stitch embroidery so extensively used in Holland. A decided novelty is the aviator suit, made for both boys and girls. The boy’s suit consists of long leggins with sweater coat and pull-down cap to match. The garments are of knitted stuff and wash easily. The girl’s suit is a long, double-breasted coat, with a big sailor collar and bordered with a bright color, generally pink; a cap, a muff and a tippet, all of the same knitted stuff. The aviator suits are made in all colors, but those for very little children are white. The ap- peal of the garment in these days of aviation, and its practicability in Missouri winter weather, can- not be doubted. The old wax doll and the doll with a china head and a body filled with sawdust heth are gone, figuratively speaking. They still are sold, of course, but they are out of date. The modern substitute is character dolls. Those depicting the peasantry of various countries are especially attractive.

people and every occupation are represented, and all the mechanical devices for giving the dolls a life-like appearance are used. One of the new things in toyland is a complete circus, which surely will appeal strongly to the boys. , It has all the usual properties, including trapezes, springboards and life nets. Dolls dressed to represent various performers and em- ployes of the circus are the people, and a com- plete menagerie is included, The cages are mounted on wheels and each have a remavable top, which the young owner may lift when he wishes to remcve the “fero- cious” teddy bears, giraffes, elephants and other animals within. “ Among the decidedly practical presents for boys are little shoes made to lace up the legs in exact imitation of the shoes worn by lumbermen, hunters, prospectors and engineers. They have the usual big brass evelets and buckskin thong laces. Being weather-proof and capable. of re- sisting all kind of hard knocks, they offer a very pleasing solution of a troublesome problem. The list. for girls inciudes little poke bonnets, “just exactly like mother’s,” and white hare coats with hats to match. The hat combines beauty and utility, being topped with a real bunny’s lead with shining glass eves and a very lifelike appearance... The desire of littie women to wear clothes “like mother’s” finds further recognition in beautiful little sets of furs, in exact replica of similar garments worn by fagsh- jonably dressed women.

The business fate as drawn by Artist Conrey. “aw ty PL, SAYS CHASE By WILLIAM M. CHASE, formerly | of St. Louis, Portrait Painter. ANK presidents, heads of colleges and unl- versities, philanthropists, founders of in- stitutions and the these are largely business men, and I have painted them in like—yes, considerable numbers, but as portraits, not as types. Why should there be a type? It is the individ- ual who makeg business, not business that moulds the individual. A dozen different artists, if they were asked each to name a dozen American busi- mess men whom they regarded as typical, would probably give you twelve different lists of names that you never heard of, and if there were among these any points of physical similarity it would be merely a case of accidental eoincidence. I have repeatedly expressed my conviction that if people want really typical portraits these must be painted by artists of their own people. A por- trait must have character, and only a painter painting his own people can give this. It has always been so. The Dutch painted the Dutch, the English the English, the Spanish the Span- ish, and so gave the world its permanent master- pieces and artistic documents. Another thing I have said—dangerous, I know, but true—applies this racial and nationa] theory to portraits of women. I should never commis- sion a European boulevardier to paint a portrait of any American woman. “THERE IS SUCH A TYPE” By J. C. STRAUSS, Strauss Studio, St. Louis. Y first impulse, on hearing the question, was to say that there is no such a thing as the American type of business face. But in looking over the pictures of men on the walls of our galleries, I find that there really is such a type. W. E. Howett, manufacturer, is the American business type as I see it. Now these men, whose photographs I have studied, may be business men, strictly speak- ing. Some of them I know are not. Yet they are of a type that suggests the American busi- ness man to me, although I can not exactly de- fine the suggestion or tell from where it comes. A: a matter of fact, some of our most ‘guccessful business men would be distinctly dis- ippointing to one who sought them out as representatives of the type. Some look like ministers and others like physicians, attorneys or college professors. On the other hand, many of our leading ministers, physicians, attorneys and professors look like this type that appeals to me as that of the business man. The American business type is pleasing.

AMERICAN TYPE? ir ot i) BAS ts : AP ey a Uae A paragraph in the news suggested this page: ‘‘Theodore Molkenboer, a court painter of Holland, hag come to this country for the express purpose of painting the face of the American business man.”’ THE BUSINESS FACE? What is it? Is there a type? Are there pictures in the art galleries of which people will say: ‘‘There is a business face.’’ Can you look over a heterogenous crowd and pick out an individual and say: ‘‘There is an American business man.’’ A novel test was decided on. Three Sunday Post-Dispatch artists—Dan Smith, Con- rey and Cesare—received this instruction :. ‘‘ Draw the face of an American business man.’’ That was all. Not by a single word was the instruction amplified. J. C. Strauss and W. T. Kandeler, photographers, were asked to select photographed faces that they considered typical of the American business man. To William M. Chase, a St. Louisan who has attained renown as a portrait painter, went the request: ‘‘ Please select from your portraits the typical face of the American business man.’’ All of the artists—painter and illustrators—protested that there was no type. Yet here in this page are the pic- tures the illustrators drew, remarkable in their similarity, remarkable in their differences. Here also are the types selected by the photographers. Looking at these pic- tures one can only say that the. Ameri- can business man has a high forehead, a firm chin and eyes that show con- centration. These are characteristics that might also mark the great soldier or the great surgeon. If there are others that dis- tinguish the business man from other Americans, what are they?

It is char- acterized generally by a high forehead, keen, penetrative eyes with sometimes a marked evidence of shrewdness; a tense expression Le- speaking close application, constant thinking and anxiety. Hamilton A. Forman, manufac- wie athe St. Louis, has-what I would call the American business face. To the casual observer the. type is hardly racial. It may be more correctly designated as national. It is clean, vigorous and aggressive, eloquent of the new nation and the new life from which it has arisen.

Lightnut and his man servant, after seeing a spider turn to a tarantula in the pajamas, fear that they have gone to the liquor chest too often. That night Lightnut’s man servant sees Lightnut in the pajamas and imagining Lightnut is a ferocious Chinaman, tries to throttle him. This incident is followed by a visit in Lightnut’s rooms of Billings’ brother from college, and when he gets into Lightnut’s Chinese pajamas Lightnut sees in him a beautiful girl and makes love to him. CHAPTER VII, Continued, “Not much of a friend; she don’t lose any sleep over me,” she com- mented gloomily. “Then there’s Sis double- crossing me with her influence ever since I ame hauled up before Prexy at Easter, Sis is awfully ages Her tone was almost savage.

And then I almost fell over, I received such a shock. For my fingers seemed to be clasping, not the soft, round contour I beheld, but a great massed protuberance, hard and unyielding as a bunch of dried putty= My fin- gers could not halt spar? it. I jerked them away, bewildered. “Wonderful,” I said faintly, and I batted perplexedly at flexing the the exquisite, symmetrical arm. “Oh, that's. nothing,” she said indifferently, jerking down her sleeve. “I'm a little undertrained now; been putting in all my time on leg work. That's what counts in football. “Football!” 1 questioned, astonished. “Why I didn't know” “That IT was on the team? Surest thing you know, that’s why I've got all this mop of hair—comes be- low my. collar—see?’ Her collar, indeed! It was easy to see that, if un- bound. it would reach considerably below her waist. But football! Why, she must mean basket ball, cf course. I opened my mouth to remind her, when she proceeded: “But I was going to tell you about this prize fight, Well this fight was just a little one, you know. Purse of $18: and we had to chip in afterward with an extra three to get Mug Kelly—that’s the Charlestown Pet, vou know—to stand the gaff for a second round. Why, he was 21] in on the count at the end of the first round—what do vou think of that?’ “But IT say, you know"’—— I began, but she lifted her hand. “TIT know—I know what you’re going to say, Dicky’ vou think we were a buneh of easy marks. that’s what you think But how could we tell my room- mate was goine to do the Pet—we couldn't, vou know.” “Your room-mate" I exclaimed aghast. ‘‘A—another young lady—in a pugilistic encounter? Oh, I say!” she kicked playfully at me. Then she assumed a minc- ing air—finger on chin, lips pursed and eyes rolling upward, you know. another sweet young peacherino—Miss Billings’ little room-mate—a beef that hits the beam at about two-sixty—Little Lizzie, you know.” “Lizzie!’’ I repeated vaguely. “Oh, I say, Dicky, cut it out; let me finish. Well, an- other minute, and the Pet would have been put to sleep, but just then the coppers nailed us,” She added gloomily: “And that's what queere.l me with Sis, Fierce, ain't it?’ She sighed and her beautiful lashes drooped sad- ly. By Jove, I was so jolly floored [ couldn't man- age a word. I. Knew, of course, that my heart was broken, but it didn’t matter. I loved her just the same; I should always love her; and she had tried to let me know she loved me better than any man she had ever met. What the deuce did anytning eise ma..- ter, anyhow? We would marry and go out on a ranch or something of that sort, where the fal-e. polisiid what-you-call-it of civilization didn't count, and no rude rebuff or sneer of society would ever chill her warm impulsiveness. She smiled archly. “See here, Dicky, I thought we were going to tell each other the story of our lives. Your turn now; tell me how she looks to you this girl that came at list—there’s always the one girl comes at last, they say, if you wait long enough. Go on—tell me-—what's she like?” “Of course, you dont’ know?” 1 said ‘significantly. “Me?

It's the best thing in humor for a long time and will make you wish there were more such S8tories. It’s new, different, mysterious, creepy. delightful, full of surprises, and with each surprise you laugh the more. Every person in the story gets into the awful pajamay at some time, and be- fore long a whole city is pajama ‘“‘dippy,”’ from the police to the hero and the heroine— almost. It’s the kind ~ Of- thing to- cheer you up, if you need it, or fo keep you’ happy. The story of the pa- jamas’ will be com- pletely told in the -five December Sunday edi- tions of the Post-Dis- patch Fiction Section, which is a permanent feature of the Sunday Post-Dispatch, and when you have read about the pajamas there’lt be other good stories right along, a “- wr fe we, oe ae ~ 3s > : ‘ “ SAA NS OTA Pas fer iM , . pt ‘ $ ~ at ~ dl - « . = ' ae gy tOy PATS DRS - Pa ee ag) — 4 r ’ ‘ *4 oe - ae rages sks . tien oe a a iad é ER ‘ Ae: complete »- one each month, month after month. me. Say, is she really so pretty?” “Pretty,” indeed! It was like this adorable child of nature not to understand that she was the most perfect, and faultless creation on earth! “Is she pretty?’ I leaned toward her, I repeaied re- preachfully. She eyed me slyly. “Oh, of course I know how you feel,” she saii, Graw me a picture of her.’ “A picture!” I laughed. ‘Ail right, here goes: Fign- teen, ‘a daughter of the gods, divinely tall and most divinely fair’—that sort of thing. Features classic—per- fect oval, you’ know, and profile to set an artist mad with joy. Eyes? Blue as Hebe’s, but big and true anid tender; hair, a great shining nugget of virgin gold. Form divine—the ideal of a poet’s,dream-—the alluring the elusive, the unattainable, the despair of the sculptor’s chisel.’’ . “My!” said Miss Billings, staring. But I was not through. “Complexion? Her skin as smooth as the heart of a seasheti and as delicately warm as its rosy blush when Kissed by the amorous tide,” “Gee!"' ejaculated my darling. I looked at her closely. “And in one matchless cheek a dimple divine such as might have been left by the barbed arrow of Cupid when it awoke Psyche from her swoon of death. In short, she might be the dainty fairy princess of our childhood fantasies, were she less superb in figure. On the other hand, she might be the sunny- haired daughter of a Viking king, were she not too deli- cately featured and molded.” That was all I could remember from the description as I had read it in a novel, but I was glad I had stored it up, by Jove, for it suited her to a dot. She didn’t say a word for a moment, but just sat there eyeing me kind of sidewise, her little upper lip lifted in an od 1 way. Then of a sudden she siook her head and swung her Knees up over the arm of her chair. “Well, Dickey, as a describer you sure are the slushv spreader. Say, you’ve got Eleanor Glyn backed off the boards,’’ She went on eagerly: “I don’t care, though: slushy or not, your picture’s just perfect for her. Why, your girl must be a ringer for the girl at Radcliffe. Only thing you left out was the freckle on the chin.” Freckle on the chin! By Jove, I left it out on pur- pose, for I thought she might not like it. I wondered if all girls at Htadcliffe had freckles on the chin. She lay back, reverding me inscrutably, “If she looks ‘ike that,” she sighted, “you ought to love her very much, Dicky.’ T couldn't say anything, for words are so deuced in- adequate, you Know. But I just made an effort to look it all. “Of course,” sighing, “you ought to feel that way: and. another thing, Dicky; you'll never forget where you first saw her, will you? One of the things one never for- gets.” “Right in this wicker chair.’ “Realy?” Her surprised ejaculation was delicious. iy Jove, how entrancingly coquettish of her! How jolly clever! “Go on; tell me how she was dressed—never mind any more picture business; just tell me in four or five words. Bet you can’t do it!” She slipped over again to the arin of my chair. In her eyes was a challenge and I took it up. “In black silk pajamas,” I said daringly. Her blue eyes opened wide. For a moment I feared she would be offended at my audacity, but her birdlike carol of laughter reassured me. . “but room,” I murmured: “and in that “Wouldn't I just love to live in pajamas,” she murmured. “Say, you’re not Sv slow, are you?” And her hand came down on my back with a force that made me jump. “Only shows,” she gurgled merrily, “how little Jack knows about you, Say, youd better never tell him about those black pajamas!” She spoke chokingly through a storm of laughter as she rocked there against my shoulder. “And say—the joke of it!” She banged me on the back with a clublike blow, incredible from that lHttle hand. “The joke of it is, he thought I'd be so safe with you! Oh, mamma!” And off she went again. I shifted uneasily. I did not like it—her merriment over what was perfectly obvious and rational. Of course, Billings knew she would be _ safe. Why the deuce shouldn’t he? But the matter of the pajamas was another thing. Her receiving me in them was a contingency I could not possibly have anticipated and avoided, and yet.a with- drawal because of them or even because of her presence here had been shown to be a_ course inexplicable to her, She was too innocent, too ingenuous, too ingenua to understand that I was invading the sanctuary of het privacy. Yet to have taken any course that would have appeared to make correction of her error come from me would have been appallingly caddish and cruel. No, the best course had seemed to be to go right on—take neo notice—and then, as soon as she retired, slip away to the club. That seemed the gentlemanly thine. Yet now ‘Ser words implied a certain consciousness that her brother might frown upon her attire, might even Visit me with reproach. I was troubled, and her next speech Wags not calculated to reassure me, “But PU—I'll never say a wor. Dieky,” she said, come ing out of her laughter and panting breathlessly. “Never! And don't rou, Dieky—don’'t vou even! Undere Stand? Mum's the word!” I looked up distressfully to protest, but her little head was shaking earnestly, the long delicate heir wisps about her forehead Wavering like tiny, curling wreaths of golden si: ioke. “No, sir,” she emphasized soberly: “if you ever let thar cat out of the bag, it'll be all up with me—I mean Jack & \. will never let me come again. You must promise me.” “But"— “Oh. but me no ‘buts’ —promise'”’ “Why, then—er—-of ceurse, if vou wish it,” “That’s right, becinse I want to come again—that is. if vou want me. But if Rrother Jack Was onto you Dicky. as | am, he would sooner huve me at a hotel, that’s a") “But my dear Frances”’— “I tell vou I know, Dicky: be doesn’t approve of young ladies in pajamas.” She chuckled... “Not even lack ones.” She stood up, looking at herself and performing a graceful pirouette before the long plier glass. “Now, if they hed heen crimson.” she proceeded, hes migth have felt different.

By Jove, how I wished I could show her the loveiy crimson pajamas Mastermann had sent me from Chinat But I would have to Fummon Jenkins to find them, and besides, it would be of questionable taste to present them to her attention. “Great ides, this, having pajmas in your college col- ors,” she said. I thought so, too, as I noted admiringly the rich effect of her golden head above the black silk. But [ thought the color a devilish odd one—somber you know—for colors of a young girl’s school. ! “My! my! She murmured, ‘“‘wouldn’t I just love PAGE 1 pat ali lah I Nt tit nitines wins egersitaninanics ee a ae

Why can't we, I Wonder?’ Her face flashed me @ ravishing smile; and while I was blinking over her question, she went on: “Funny how the girls even are taking to ’em—even Sis wears ’em!” She chuckled: “Hers are gray flannellette. But the girl I'm telling you about —eghe don’t; Sis told the mater about it. It seems that before she left China, some high muck-a-muck gave her governor a swell pair of silk ones—something like these, I guess, but i don’t know of what color. But, any- how, they were too delicate and fine to be wasted On an old stiff like that, and he had sense enough to know it. So he passed ’em down the line to her—Frances, you know. Well, sir’— Here she sidled to the table and half leaned, half perched, upon its edge; and I was so districted watching her graceful poise and gestures that I lost whet she was saving, by Jove. It was her trill of laughter at something she said, and the question: “Wasn't that funny?” brought me bdek to what she was telling me. “Yes, sir—-said she just scared her maid—oh, batty! Because <siic looked so ugly in ‘em—that’s what she thinks, but of course—shucks! Anyhow, she never wore ‘em any more, and a day or two later some coolie stole them—sold ‘em probably.” _ Suddenly she yawned, stretched her arms above ner head, and flashed me a dazzling smile. By Jove, in the loose-fitting garments she looked fur all the world like an Oriental houri, or some joily lovely thing like that. “Gee, but I'm sleepy!” she said behind her little hand. “If you'll excuse me, Dicky, I believe it will be off to the eprings—the bed springs, for little Frankie. Good night, then. See you in the morning.” . And with another radiant smile, she moved toward her room. “Good night.” I said wistfully. By Jove, somehow I had hoped she would offer to kiss me, now that we were engaged in a way. But then, of course, it wouldn't do—she knew that. So ought l. Per- haps in the morning at the bvat!

Then I iocked the outer doors of the hall and apart- ment, leaving the keys unniolested on the inside. On the whoie I decided 1 would not have up the janitor’s gos- Sipyv wife. Next | sought Jenkins at the back. “We will lock up back here, Jenkins, and go over to my rooms at the club for the night.’ Jenkins stared fixedly over my head, “And Jenkins—h'm!”’ I crumpled a bill chanical palm. ‘You will never allude to that sweet-——-um—you unierstand, Jenkins? to remember, even to me, that you ever Saw anyone up here tonight.” “Certainly not, sir,’ indignantly. “I wouldn't anyhow.” Yes his eyes, rolling back from the ceiling, seemed to hold me oddly for an instant. In them was a touch ot sadness, “But may I speak of that Mr. Billings, if he comes” “Jenkins!” “Certainly, mouth closed, traplike. But all in vain my rise the next morning, my careful toilet and my dash in a taxi to a florist and then to Tiffany's for a ring. At the pier 1 dodged about in the crowd, the boy trailing behind me with the big. pur- ple box, but not a devilish thing could I see of Frances. By Jove, | almost broke my monacle straining! At last I was sure she must be left, for the last passengers were passing over the gang-plank. “Hello, Dicky!” The voice, coarse and hearty, came from an athletic young man in a hurrah guit. On his head perched jaun- tily above a mass of yellow hair, was a straw hat with a crimson band. I stared at him through my glass, but it was’ not any- one I knew at all. I looked at’ him coldly, for there's nothing so devilish annoying as familiarities from strangers. I thought I could freeze him off. But he only grinned. “Looking for Miss Billings?’ “I—I haven't seen her,’ I answered stiffly. But his question alarmed me. He chuckled in my face. “Guess you don’t know her in her clothes, eh, Dicky?" And 1 did not need the punch he gave me in the side to make me stagger backward. “A thousand thanks, and good-by, old chap. I see they're hauling in the plank.” He iingered for one bearlike grab at my hand. “And say, don’t forget—for I know Jack Billings bet- ter than you do—don’'t ever let him know about all that Scotch last night.” He called over his shoulder with a grin: —as dark as those black pajamas, Dicky!” And as iong as I could see, he stood on the deck, wav- ing his hat at me as | stood there with my mouth open, my eyes following him with herror, By Jove, who wag he, aud what did he had that 1 stood blinkine afte-s upon “Certainly, sir.” into his me- having see Never seem sir?

They iooked singulariy smooth and un- wrinkled. There was not a single tear or break, not even with the delicate cords that twisted to form the frogs of the coat. “My, sir! But ain’t they red!” breathed Jenkins. ‘‘Then, cords look like little red snakes.” I cut an amxious glance at Jenkins, for I did not like his reference to snakes. Seemed ominous, somehow, But his appearance was composed and reassuring. And, by Jove, come to look, the cords did look just like tiny, cotied serpents of glowing fire. Why, they were so jolly rea they hurt your eyes. Fact: And thin as the beauti- ful stuff was, this brighter red ran all over the other, covering every inch of it and forming the closest, finest PAGE 2 ~ FICTION SECTION. a what-vou-cali-it embroidery. It was as faint and dainty a@ pattern as that on a soap bubble! Fact is, I could not’trace it, even with my glass. The only part that wasn’t covered with this embroid- ery business was the stuff used to cover the knots, or little balls, over which the cords were meant to hook. In working with some of these cords, idly fastening and unfastening them, I got a little impatient with one that seemed tight. vou know, and I used my manicure knife to pull the knot through, “Careful, sir,” warned Jenkins. thing.’’ m By Jove! No sooner said, than I did it! The dashed blade slipped somehow and cut into the threads that tied the covers or caps or whatever-y9u- eall-’ems, over the knots. And when I pulled, the beastly piece of silk came off in my fingers. And then—oh, but I say! I just gave a sort of yell and dropped the whole thing! Ever have some silly ass try to scare you by poking 4 red hot cigar at you in the dark? Know how you jerk back? Well, there you are! For, give you my word, when I peeleg off the little cloth cap, regular blaze of crimson fire seemed to shvot from the end of the knot. Fact is, it wasnt’ a knot at all, but a button--a devilish glassy button, something bigger than a dime, perhaps, and thick as the end of your litti» finger. Awd there it lay against the silk, burning its way through It Hike a red coal of fire. Dashed if it didn’t look that way, anyhow. I just sat there blinking like a jolly owl, waiting to see the stuff begin to smoke, before I had presence of mind to tell Jenkins to touch it to see if it would burn, But Jenkins wouldn’t. He stood there with his jaw hanging and his eyes bulging like champagne corks! And it was just then that Billings rolled in. I say “rolled in,’ because it always looks that Way. That's the way Billings is built, you kncw, : “I say, Dicky,” he panted, ‘‘just missed another infernal express! Plenty more trains, but I had a great inspira- tion strike me that I’d let you put me up for the wight. Hat, Jenkins! Now, don't say a word, Dicky, oli chap. Cane, Jenkins!

You know Higgins, cashier-that- was uf the Widows’ National, eh? Well, Higgins sent the governor a Morocco flag the other from Tangier. Fact is. he sent one to every director of the bank--—and an extra large one to that bank exaimminer!”’ He chuckled wabblingly, like a jolly jellyfish: “Talk about a red flag to a bull,” he exploded, “why, they’— Billines broke of suddenly. his feet, and without warning, room and seized the button I had just uncovered, if he didn't almost upset me, “Here, I say!’ I protested. “Don’t lose that cap.” I picked it up from where he had jerked it.to the floor, “It's the cover to hide that glass, you know.” “*“Wh-a-t!” Billings swung curious expression. “See here, Dicky,’ he exclaimed rather excitedly, but in a low tone, as he cut a side glance at Jenkins siphoning the fizz over at the cellarette. “What in thunder have you been doing now?” By Jove, I turned cold for a minute, I was that startled. I thought he was going to use the pajamas as an intro- duction for reference to last night. But in a minute I saw that he did not mean that. “Where on earth did you get anything like this?” he held up the button and the- garment. “Oh, I say now!” I remonstrated, alarm changing to a mild dudgeon. Billings’ devilish rude manners are so of- fensive at times. “What do you mean? It's a present from a friend in China.” “Present! Billings’ eyes bulged queerly. He stooped toward me, whispering: “Did he know what this button was?” ° ‘Why, of course he didn't,” I “Never dreamed of it, of course, I tell you, it was 21! nicely covered, was what-you-call it—upholstered, you know—with devilish nice silk. I cut it off accidentally trying to force the thing through that loop. That left the marble exposed.” Billings took the glass mechanically from the trav tendered by Jenkins and sipped it slowly, eyeing me curi- ously over the top. Then he-set it back, very deliberate- lv. wiped his mouth with a bit of napery, and without taking his glance from me, waited until Jenkins had left the room. Whereupon, after another searching look «et the button, he dropped it with the gvarment upon the table, and with hands jammed deep in his pockets, faced me with a long-drawn whistle. “Well, I'll be hanged!” he exclaimed. Just-a coarse. vulgar outburst, vou Kknow—no sense to it; no point at all, you know—that’s Billings. He caught up the coat again. “And these others—four of them—are they just the same?” he demanded sharply, “Dash it, how should I know? I suppose so,” [ an- swered indifferently. And I closed my eyes and léane. back, feelipg a bit—-just a bit—weary. Somehow, Bill- ings is always so exhausting when he gets started on something. “Oh, cut it out, old chap,” I protested, drowsy-like. “I will,” I heard him say. Then I guess I must have dropped off a bit, for the_-next thing I knew he was shak- ing me. “Dicky! Dicky! Say, look here! Look, I tell you!’ I did look, and—well, I was jolly vexed, that’s all. “Oh, I say now!”.I spoke severely—just that way, you know. I went on, remonstrating: ‘Devilish silly joke, if vou ask me. You've gone and ruined the thing, Bill- ings! Flashy buttons like that, vou know—too tawdry, too cheap.” “Cheap!” He almost shouted it. Then he leaned over the back of the leather chair and pounded his fat head against the cushions, writhing his big bulk from side to side. “Quite impossible,’ I said firmly. “Not en regle at all, you know!” And I fixed my glass and stared gluomily at the things. The five shiny buttons just lay there against the delicate silk like so many fiery crimson cherries. And they reminded me of something—-something—what the deuce was it? Something deviiish familiar, what- ever it was. And then of a sudden [I had it! “By Jove, you know!’ And I just fell back in conster- natton. “This is awful! I'd look like a—er—dashed hu- man cocktail. Oh, I say!’ Then Rillings, who was already gasping like a jolly day Then he climbed heavily to heaved himself across the Dashed round, staring at’ me with the most And answered indignantly. what-it’s-name, dropped upon the arm of the chaiv and held his side. “Dicky, youmyou'll be the death of me yet,’ he pante4, I never try to follow Billings. Nobody ever does.’ So I paid no attention to him. Shaking his head, he lifted the garment again and held it out of the direct rays of the shaded lamp. The five buttons leaped out of the shadow like port lights down the bay on @ moonless night. " He leered at me, chuckling. “Look cheap to you, eh? What you might call outre, so to speak?” 3 “By Jove, of course,” Y answered ruefully. ‘I can’t sleep in the things now, you know. What would people say?” Billings stare something under his breath. T tons and the silk, and crushing his face in the mass. “Oh you beauties, you darlings Then he looked at the buttons again, and dash it, he kissed one. Maudlin—Jolly maudlin, I say, if you ask me! “I gay, Dicky,” he said carelessly. “You may not care for them, but I’ve taken rather a shine to these buttons, Mind letting me have one, eh?” He flashed a quick glance at me and then away. “Mind? Why, certainly not; take ’em all, old chap, and welcome.” Yet I responded gloomily enough, scarcely polite, you know. And 1 felt too jolly prostrated to be curious as to what he could possibly want with the things. Waistcoat buttons, likely—Billings was given to loud dress and other bounder stunts, But he just sat there looking down after I spoke, and presently mtom a queer glance at me. “Dicky,” he said, and paused. Then he fished out that perfectly impossible pipe of his and began to pack it, slowly shaking his head. “Dicky, anybody that would take advantage of you would lift a baby’s milk gurgler.” Of course, I saw no more sense in that than you do, you know, but I understood that in his crude, vulgar way he meant some sort of a compliment. “Dash it, of course.’ I said offhand, straightening uP and recrossing my legs. I always say that and do that way when fellows say stupid things. Such a jolly god way to keep from hurting their feelings, you know, anid saves talking and thinking. Got on to it myself. Billings’ eye ranged at me as he lighted his pipe. The smoke seemed to make him cough, and it was this, l suppose, that set him chuckling. He suddénly held up the row of red buttons again. “Look here, you blessed dodo,” he exclaimed brusquely “Have vou really no idea what these are, these glass but- tons you are yaping about? Of course you haven't, yoa jolly chowder head, but I'm going to tell you,” He threw his coat into my lap. “They are rubies, old man, that’s all,” he said quiely. “Oriental rubies, at that—flawless and perfect—tlie rarest and most precious things in the world,” ad at me disagreeably a moment and said hen he caught up the but- them in his hands, buried ” JT heard him murmur. CHAPTER IX. AN AMAZING REVELATION, ATARED blankly at Billings. ‘‘Rubies!” I gasped. He nodded. “Genuine pigeon bloods, my son, no less.”’ “Oh, come now, miffed, just a little you know. that way. “By Jove, old chap, you must think me a common ass,” l suggested disgustedly. Billings grinned at the very idea. “You a common ass, Dicky?” he ejaculated. ‘Nobody who knows vou would ever think that, old man.” “But, I say ’—— “See here, Dicky, boy, I'm in dead earnest,” he inter- rupted eagerly. “Don’t you remember my one fad— gems? Got enough tied up in them to build two apart- ment houses as big as this. Best amateur collection in New York, if I do say it. But I haven't anything like One of these rubies, and neither has anyone else—no one elSe in this country, anyhow. There's nothing like them in all New York, from Tiffany’s down to Maiden Lane, and never has been. I never saw anything like—near like any of them—except the one in the Russian crown of Anna Ivanovana. That's bigger, but it hasn’t the same Billings,” I protested. I felt a little So jolly raw to try it on fire. I just laughed at him. “Why, Billings, these pajamas were sent me by a friend in China, and I assure you” “Assure? What can you assure—what do you know about it?” said Billings rudely. “What did your friend know, or the one who had these things from—or the one before him—or the one still before that? Pshaw!"” And he snapped his fingers. With his hand he swept up the litle caps and the long, wirelike threads that held them and sniffed the hand curiously. “H'm! Funky sort of aromatic smell—balsam, oil or something like that,’ he muttered half aloud. ‘That accounts for the preservation. But still” He crossed his legs and puffed thoughtfully. “Tell you how I figure this out, Dicky,” he said finally “These nighties your friend has sent you are awfully rare and old; and for delicate, dainty elegance and that sort of thing they’ve got everything else in the silk way shoved off the clothes-line. But as to these jewels, you can just bet al! you’ve got that whoever passed them on was not wise to them being under those covers.” Here he got to looking at one of the buttons and mur- muring his admiration—regular trance, you know. “By Jove: I remarked,.just to stir him up a bit. he unloaded a great funnel of smoke and continued: “My theory is that during some danger. some manda- rins’ war, likely, somebody got cold fee® about these jewels and roped them in with these bits of silk—see how different they are from the rest of the stuff! Then, when the roughhouse came, these pajumas were swept’ along in the sacking—sort of spoils of Pillage, you know. It was a clever method of concealment—clever because simple—-a hiding place unlikely to be thought of because right under the eye. You recall Poe's story of ‘The Purloined Letter?’ . I tried to remember, “Can't say I do, dear boy,” I had to admit. “Don’t seem to place that one. Only one I remember hearing him tell is that one he brought back from Paris. bet me see—‘The Story of the Lonel. Lob- Ster,’ I think he called it.” I chortled delightedl, as _ it came back to me. “By Jove, that was devilish neat! Don’t Know when I've ever heard” An offensive remark by Billings interrupted me. “Here, Dicky, Dicky, what do you think you're talk- ing about?” he added rudely. Evidently his mind had wandered from the subject. So I repl'ed with dignity— dignity, with just a touch of sarcasm: ‘‘Pogue—'Mickey’ Pogue of our club. Perhaps you don’t know Mickey Pogue?” And, by Jove, that fetche him! He stared at me a moment, and then, getting up, he reached over and solemnly shook me by the hond. “Dicky,” he said, wagging his head, “I apologize. You take the brioche!’ And he turned his back a second. [ asked Billings how much he thought one of the ru- bies was worth. I had in mind how devilish hungrily he had looked at them. -But he sighed, then frowned and answered impatiently: “That’s it! That’s the trouble about all the rare and beautiful things of this life! Always some debasing, prohibitive sordid money value, dammit!” He squinted at the stones again and let the weivzht of one rest upon his finger... He shook his head, sighing. “Well, they're over 20 carats each, and therefore, of cedar And ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. “JECEMBER 10, 1911.

His pipe had gone out, but I noticed that he did not relight it. I held the gems full in the rays of the lamp, and Billings paused, holding a hungry gaze over his shoulder. “J say, Billings, how much did you. say one was worth?” I asked carelessly. For a moment he did not reply, but muttered to himself, “J didn’t say,” he finally replied, and rather crossly. Then he whirled on me impulsively. “See here, Lignt- nut,’ he exclaimed, “if you’ll let me have one of these for my collection, [ll give you $25,000 for it—there.” He gulped and continued: “rll have to make some sacrifices, but I don’t mind that. I’—— But I shook my head. Really, I could hardly keep from laughing in his face. “Sorry: Can't see it, old chap,” I said. “Wouldn't sell one of them at any price.” Billings gulped again. “I suppose not: don’t blame you. Way you're fixed, you don’t have to.” He walked slowly to the window and back. “Take my advice, Dicky, and get those fire coals into your safe deposit vault first thing in the morning. Hello, you're cutting them off! That's wise.’ For with the knife he had left on thé table I was cut- ting away the tough threads that held the rubies. ! cut off the second and fourth, leaving the first ruby at the collar and the other two alternates. “Go on,” said Billings, as I laid down the knife. “You've only removed two.” “Don’t believe I'll cut off any more,” I said. “Want you to help me tie up the others just as they were.” “What!” I insisted. And. though Billings protested and argued and even called me names, we did as I said. For, by Jove, you know’ it was perfectly clear that if they had been safe so long under the little covers, the jewels couldn’t find any better place. Singular thing Billings couldn't see it. Besides, the pajamas had to have fastenings, you know. I held one of the two rubies under the light, and, by Jove, I almost dropped it—did drop my glass, Seeing a red-hot poker-point in your fingers would give you the same turn. “Rippers, Billings! Simply rippers!’ 1 exclaimed. I*held the other ruby beside its fellow. Then I waited, listening, and [ heard Billings’ hand strike down on the back of a chair. ; “Tt guess Ull be going, old chap,” he said gruffly. “Think Td better. after all.” He cleared his throat. “Sure you can’t sell me one, Dicky?” Dashed if his voice didn’t tremble. “Quite sure, dear boy,” I murmured, without turning around. “Not mine, you know—these two.” Billings exploded then, It seemed an opportunity to relieve himself. “Not yours! Why, vou dodgasted idiut, you nincompoop, you cuckoo, you chicken head! Whiut notion have you got in that fool’s noodle now? If those rubies are not yours, whose do you think they are?” I whirled about quickly. “Yours,” I said, and laid them in his hand. “My compliments, old chap,” I added, smiling. By Jove! One time, at least, I put it all over, old Billings! “No!” he gasped, crouching over and gripping my shoulder. I grinned cheerfully. Hie fell into a chair and just sat there mouthing at me and then at the jewels in his hand. Old boy looked devilish silly. teally acted like he had some sort of stroke—that sort of thing. I laughed at him. “Don’t you see?’ I said, trying to explain. “Wouldn't have known a dashed things about the buttons being rubies but for you. So lucky they came to me so I can get a chance to help out your collection. Awfully eglad, old chap.” He clenched the jewels and looked down. ‘“Dicky’’—— He coughed a little huskily as he paused. “Dicky.” His voice was so low I could hardly hear him, “Dicky, you're off your trolrey, and I’m a damned’—— He raised his arm and dropped it. “Well, never mind what,” he finished with a lift of the shoulders. “But I want to say something. It’s about what I offered you for those stones. The price—the amount I named—wasn’t even a decent gamble; but it was all I could go, and oh, I wanted one _ so _ badly, Dicky! And now you've made me feel like a dog. And I can't take vour gift, old chap, any more than I could afford to offer you the real value of one of these beau- tiful stones.

And then I almost pitched forwari, I was so devilish startled.

Just so you get him past the furniture and rugs, sir.” I advanced a step into the room. I expected the old knave to be a bit dashed, don’t you know. Not he; it never disquieted him a bit. Just gave me a careless leer and went back to the ruby. Somehow I began to fee’ I'm not often taken that way, but this old scaimnp’s persistent audacity and impudence went beyond anything T had ever heard of. “What in thunder’s the matter with you, son?’ he murmured, squinting hideously at the jewel. “You prowl around like you had a pain.”” Then he went right on: “Say, did you ever see anything so corking fine?” He looked up, holding the ruby in the light. “And to think how little I dreamed of scooping anything like that when I came in here tonight!” Ry Jove, this was a little too much, even for an easy- going chap like myself! The jolly worm will turn, you know. Dash me, before I knew what I was doing even, I had moved to his side and jerked the ruby from his hand. My face felt like a hot-water Sottle as I did it, “You haven’t got it yet,” | -d, “and I'll. take devilish good care you don't get it.” He fell back as though from a blow. “Why—why, old chap! Why, Lightnut!” “What’s the matter—what makes you look at me that?’ ‘Your liberties have gone just a bit too far, don’t you know,” I said, looking steadily in his fishy old eye. “I've had enough of you, by Jove, that’s all!’ He stared at me, and I could hear him breathing like a blacksmith’s bellows. I would never have thought he had such lungs. Slowly his hand came out, and dash me if it wasn't shaking like he had the delirium what’s-its-name. But for his tan, his face wot'td have been as white as his hypocritical old whiskers. “Is this some infernal joke?’ His face summoned a sickly smile that almost instantly faded. His hand fell back to his side. “Why, old fellow, you don’t think that way about me, do you? As for the ruby, I—I don't want it now—lI just want you to accept my aprrogy for any- thirg I've done, and—and let me get away.” There was a short laugh from the doorway. “Likely enough.” said Officer O'Keefe, his big figure Fwinzing torward with long strides. “Keep him covered, Tir!" ° He plented himself between us with a grin. ‘it’ again, Foxy!

For a fat man, Billings had a feuce of a temper when stirred up over anything like an imposition upon him, and it would only add to the confu- sion for him to appear on the scene and learn about his wallet and hig treasured ruby that I had rescued. Foxy Grandpa's face had been rapidly undergoing a change. From pallor to pink it went; and then from pink to red. Now it was becoming scarlet. He threw back his head and faced me angrily. “Lightnut, will you tell me what the hell this means?” And his voice thundered. “Here! Here! That'll be enough o’ that,” cried Offt- PAGE 4 \ * . ee ae ; ee oe eo *% 7" cer O'Keefe sharply. “None of your grandstand play here, or it’ll be the worse for you.

Of what sort, I had no idea, “And what, may I ask, is the charge?” he asked again, with what was apparently a great effort at calmness. “Oh, come now, Braxton,” said the officer in a tone of disgust, “stop yeur foolery; you're just using up time. Ain't it enough that you're hiding in this building and in this gentleman’s rooms?” “In his rooms!” expleded Foxy Grandpa. “Why, you lunkhead, this gentleman will tell you I am his guest!?’’ He turned to me with a sort of angry laugh. “Tell him, Lightnut,” he rasped. “I’ve had enough of “Why, you born “Sav, what is your nanie l am under arrest?” he in- this!’’ The big policeman’s features expanded in a grin, while Tim doubled forward for an instant, his blue girth wab- bling with internal appreciation of the Foxy one’s face- tiousness; and the janitor snickered. Jenkins looked shocked. As for me, dash it, I never so wished for my monocle, don’t you know! O’Keefe’s head angled a little to give me the benefit of 4 surreptitious wink. “Oh, certainly,’ he said, his voice affecting a fine sar- casm; “if the gentleman says you're his friend” “He's no friend of mine,’ [ proclaimed indignatly. “Never saw him before in my life.” Instead of being confounded, the artful old villain fell back with a great air of-astonishment and dismay. By Jove, he managed to turn fairly purple. “What-a-t's that?” he gasped stranglingly and clutch- ing at the collar of his pajamas. “Say that again, Dicky.” I looked at him severely. “Oh, I say, don’t call me ‘Dicky,’ either,’ I remonstrat- ed quiely. “It’s a name I only like to hear my intimate friends use,” He kind of caught the back of a chair and glared wild- ly at me from under the bushy wintry eyebrows. The beefy rolls of his lower jaw actually trembled, “Don't you—haven’t you always classed me as that, Dic—er—Lightnut?”" he sort of whispered. By Jove, the effrontery of such acting fairly disgusted me. I looked him over from head to foot with measured contempt. “I don’t know you at all,’ I said coldly, turn- ing away. “Ye gods!’ he wheezed, clutching his grizzled hair. T “Wait!” ond!”’ He. looked at Jenkins and ducked his neck forward, swallowing hard, “Jenkins,” he said with a sickly smile. how it is with Lightnut—poor fellow! None of.us ever thought he would go off that bad though. But, as it is, I guess you’re the one now who will have to set me right with these people. You'll have to stand for me,’ Jenkins looked alarmed. Hie addressed the oficers eagerly: “S’help me,” he cried, his glance impaling the prisoner with scorn, “l neve” see this party before in the 10 years I been in New York!” Did that settle the fellow? nerve seemed inexhaustible! He blinked a littse; and then. with a roar he jumped for Jenkins, but O’Keefe shoved him back. Panting and struggling between the two officers; and fairly at bay at last, the desperate old map seemed to.determine one last bluff, don’t you know, and with the janitor. “Here, you,” he bellowed, as the mandodged behind Jenkins. “You have seen me come in this building often! Tell ‘em so, or I'll kill you!” The little man. turned pale, but came up pluckily. “It—if I had,” he stammered, “you never would have come in again, if I knew as much about you as I do now.

Couldn't quit his jolly acting, it was clear to me, even when he had played his last card, everybody crazy, or am I?” he said, brushing his hand across his forehead; and dashed if the perspiration didn’t stand on it in big drops, clear up into his old bald pate. “See CHAPTER XII, I SEND A MAN TO JAIL.

The policeman laughed derisively. “Likely we'll be hauling people out of bed at this hour, isn’t it,” he sneered, “just to let you keep up this fool's game!” He leveled his stick menacingly. “Now, looky here, Braxton!” he exclaimed sternly. “I’m being easy with you because you're a gray-headed old man, but”—— By Jove, it was plain that he had struck a sensitive point! “Gray-haired old man!” shouted the fellow, coming out of the chair like a rubber ball, and pointing to his reflec- tion in a long mirror. “Does that look like gray hair— that red topknot? It'll be gray, though, if this infernal craziness goes on much longer—I'll say that much!” And back he flopped into the chair. The two officers exchanged glances, and, by Jove, they looked ugly! | “Call for the wagon, Tim,’ said O’Keefe shortly, indi- cating the phone. “The fool’s going to give trouble. Ka- hoka Apartments, tell them, Hurry; let’s get him to the street.” He made a dive at the figure in the chair and jerked him forward. But his grip seemed to slip and he only moved his prisoner a few inches. He tried again with about the Same result, “Get a move on Tim,” he said pantingly. “He's bigger, somehow, than he looks, and awful heavy; it'll take both of us. Get up, Braxton, unless you want the club!” The man settled stolidly in the depths of the ehair. “Club and be hanged!” he replied with a snap of his jaw. “I won't go in any dirty police wagon—that’s flat! You may take me in a’hearse first.” Get a cab or a taxi. if I have to go with you!” “Gamey old sport, anyhow, by Jovel” I thought with sudden admiration. Couldn't help it, dash it! Heart just went out to him, somehow, I gently interposed as O’Keefe prepared to lunge again, “J'll stand a cab for him, officer,” I sald with a smile, FICTION SECTION --ST.

ca < ~ “if your rules, don’t you know, or whatever it is, will allow.”’ I added in a lowered voice: “Makes it devlish easier for you, don’t you know, and avoids such a jolly row. And—er—I want to ask you and your friend to accept from me a little token of my appreciation.” The policeman exchanged a glance with Tim and con- sidered. “Well, sir,” he said, “as to the cab, of course if you're a mind to want to do that, it’s your own affairs.” He turned to his companion. “Just cancel that, Tim,” he directed. wheeler.” “Thank you, Lightnut,” put in the old man gratefully. “You have a grain of decency left, by George, after all?” Meantime, Jenkins was answering my inquiry. “I don’t believe, sir, you have a bit of cash house. You told me so when you were retiring.” By Jove, I remember now! ‘The poker game in evening! : I was wondering whether they could use a check, when I spied Billings’ wallet on the table. The very thing, by Jove! Examination showed, first thing, a wad of yellow- backs, fresh. from the bank, I peeled off two and pushed them into the oficer’s hand, “This belongs to a friend of mine,” I remarked; “but it’s just the same as my own, don’t you Know, and he won't mind. Dash it, we’re just like brothers!” A howl of maniacal] laughter from the old fool in the chair startled us both, “Regular Damon and Pythias, grinning with hideous face contortions. all for one! And just help yourself; Why—hell!”’ ©’Keefe prodded him sharply in the shoulder with his night stick. “Stop your skylarking now, Foxy,” he admonished angrily, “and come on. Here the gentleman’s gone and put up his money for a cab for you and you ought toa want to get our of his way so he can rest.” “He’s sure been kind to you,” supplemented Tim, whose eye had noted the passing of the yellow boys. “Kind!” mocked the old geezer, showing his scattered teeth in a horrible grin. ‘Why, he’s a lu-lu, a regular Samaritan!” “No names!” warned O'Keefe, slightly lifting his night stick. ‘‘Come on to the street—you seem to forget you're under arrest.” He added’ hastily: “And I ought to have warned you that anything you may say, Foxy’’—— “Oh, you go to—Brooklyn!”’ snarled Foxy. “For two pins I'd knock your block off, you fat-headed Irish fool! Think. I'm going down to the sidewalk without my clothes?” ~ “Are your clothes sumewhere in this building?” I ask- ed with some sympathy. He whirled on me sneeringly and jeered like a jolly screech owl: . “Oh, no; not exactly in the building—they're on the flagpole on the roof, of course! He-he-he! Bloody good joke, isn’t it?’ I sat on the edge of the table wearily; and, catthing the policeman’s eye, shrugged my shoulders significantly. “You're right, sir,” he said apologetically. “We won't fool a second longer. Here, you take that side, Tim. Let’s pull!” And they did pull, but, by Jove, they couldn't raise him. “Queerest go I ever see,’ Tim gasped. ‘He ain't hold- ing on to nothing, is he? And, O'Keefe, he feels big!” “Pshaw, it’s not that,” the other panted; “it’s just the way he's sitting. Why, you can see he ain't so very big.” He nodded to Jenkins and the janitor. “Here, you two! Help us, can’t you?” And with one mightly, united heave, they brought the loudly protesting old man to his feet and held him there. O’Keefe faced me, _ “Might be well to take a look around, sir, and see if you think of anything else he’s stolen, before we take him off.é “Good idea, Lightnut!” Old Braxton stopped strug- Zling and whirled his head toward me, his face almost black rage. “Ha, ha! Why don’t you have me searched? There's not a pocket in these damn pajamas'” “Anything whatever, sir, we'll have him leave behind,” said O'Keefe. “By Jove!” I don’t know how I ever managed to say t. Fact is, things had just suddenly spun rwund before me like a merry what’sits-name. For I did recognize something! The old fellow’s unabashed reference to pajamas was what brought it to my attention “Ha!” O’Keefe nodded. “There is somethinz' the word, sir.” I looked helplessly at Jenkins, and then I saw that of a sudden he recognized them, too. His eyes rolled at me understandingly. “What is it, sir?” demanded O'Keefe respectfully. law \requires” I swallowed hard. ‘“It—it’s the pajamas,” I said faintly The old rascal uttered a roar and tried to get at ine. “You cold-bloded scoundrel!” he bellowed. ‘So this is why” But here a.jab of the night stick took him in the side with a sound like a blow on a punching bag. Words left the old man and he gasped desperately for breath. O’Keeef tried to shake him. “Did you get those pajamas in here?” he demanded fiercely, and he drew. back his stick as though for an- other jab. But the old geezer nodded quickly, glaring at me and trving to wheeze something. “That's enough,” said the officer. “You recognize them, dv you, sir?’ “I—-| think so,"’ I stammered, looking at Jenkins, who nodded “They belong to a friend of mine who—a— must hve left then: here.” The old man just snarled at them. He was like a dog at bay. “All richt!” he hissed. off—I'll1 kill somebody, that’s all. make a spectacle of myself?” And with all four of them behind the charge, they managed to rush the loudly protesting old man to the door. “I won't go without my clothes, J] tell you,” he raged.
