2 MAD MINERS SAVED, RUSH BACK NTO TUNNELS As Soon as the Rescuers Get Glimpse of the Crazed Pair They Go Farther In- to the Black Passages and Are Lost to View Again.

Traced to Dark Cavern They Hide, and After Pursuers Pass Dash, Screaming, in Otke. Direction. Other Signs of Life Are Seen in Chalkmarks Saying “We Have Gone to 23” — No One There. By Aesociated Press. - BRICEVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 12.— Stricken mad, probably from fear in- spired by their plight, two miners, who 4 had been with the party rescued last night, are now dashing wildly in and out of channels in the far recesses of the mine, where 30 bodies were found after 100 were imprisoned. All night long men of the rescue squad were chasing the maniacs, but just as soon as the would-be rescuers got close on their trail, the madmen would dash away, screaming wildly. First they scurry down the main en- try, then scamper away into black recesses of the mine at the reproach of meu from the outside. Additional squads of men have been Sent into the mine. They will attempt te run down the two madgened miners before they penetrate a chamber filled with lethal gas-fumes. A lederal official took charge of the «hase this forenoon but the crazed sur- vivers of the dust blast eluded pursuit. Once, a squad traced the men to 4 chamber but before they could be penned in ,they crept into a dark corner in the inain shaft and when the party passed ‘them they scurried screaming back into the inner workings. ' News Kept Secret. The maddened miners are believed to be Jobn Duff and John Smith. News of their plight is being kept from their families, who have given them up for dead. The Knoxville Iron Co., owner of the mine, has provided every attention for the survivors tAken from the Wine last night. A big squad of doctors arrivea last night. They will lessen the ten- sion under which the entombed miners have strained before they will be taken into the open air. Near the mine open- ing plaster “masks will be placed over faces of the survivors and they will be ¥vrapped in warm blankets. Not the most odd feature of the rescue work is aversion of the miners to dig- graves. They will take their lives in their hands at rescue work, go0- ing far into the channels of the ill-fated mine, but they hesitate at digging graves for bodies ef their fellow work- men. Director Chandler of the rescue work was compelled to go among the miners and plead with them before a fficient number volunteered for grave’ igging. Most of the victims are mig soon as their bodies are recovered. A iditions! signs of life were discovered in the Cross-Mountain mine at 11 0 clock today. On the walls of the main shaft were found inscribed these words: ~ “We have gone to 23." Immediately the rescue squads re- doubled their efforts to reach cross sec- tion No. 23 of the n&ne. It is believed that several of the blast victims will be fuund there. Hand Sign Points Way. At first the inscription was believed to be the grim humor of one of the trapped miners, but a crudely drawn ‘index hand” aimed at entry No. 23, pointed wut the way. Later the rescue party penetrated into Cross Entry No. 23 No miners were found there, but additional directions for their guidance were found scrawled in chalk on fhe walls. They evidently were compelled to change their vantag point on account of the altering air con- ditions. The rescue squad pressed on tm the direction indicated by the chalk marks. More bodies were found by the res-. cuers and the total was brought up to 30. Spurred on by last night’s discovery of>survivors of Saturday’s* dust blast - $m the Cross-Mountain coal mine, fresh -yescue squads went into the cross-en- tries this mornirg, hacking and digging with redoubled energy. Their only re- ward, however, was the discovery of a ee see far back in the mine. _-—s«s ix bodies were recovered. Two of the K etx were Mentified. One was Joseph . a widower. The other, Tate had a wite and four children. a B Soasereen the oldest of the men | _ last Bat ‘enacnal ama ot ri ies adie ed ' OBJECT TO THE

SHOOTS AT A ROBBER KILLS A TELEPHONE Restaurant Keeper Routs Two Men Who Tried to Hold Up His ‘Place. George Kalisto#e, restaurant keeper at 2101 Washington avenue shot at a robber and killed a telephone at 5 a. m. Tuesday. The robber was in front of the counter and the telephone was on the opposite side of the recom. When Kalistone tried to use the tele- phone to put the police on the track of the robber, he found that his bullet had put it out of commission. Kalistone Was behind the restaurant counter when two men entered and or- dered coffee. One asked him if he could change a $10 bill. When he said he could not the other man leveled a revolver at him and commanded him to open the cash register. Kalistone ducked behind the counter, grabbed a revolver and opened fire on the robbers. They exchanged several shots, one of which went through the restaurant keeper's cap. “SO HELP ME GOD” IN OATHS IS OPPOSED Congress Is Asked by Bonaparte and Others to Eliminate All Imprécatory Words. 12 Roosevelt's

Rouls, Mo. ) Grugeista —ADY, to Glasstetter, remarked that he had a warm spot in his heart for Mrs. Buol. Friends 20 Years. The Buols were married Dec. 14, 1905, and separated Jan. 12, 1910. They lived at 1803 Sidney street. According to Buol, he and his wife had no serious quar- rels. On the day of the separation, he said, when he returned home he found a note from Mrs. Buol stating she had Zone in obedience to his order. He de- nied he told her to leave. “Laubach and I were friends for ® years,’’ Buol testified, “‘“‘aand when my wife left, he was the first one I looked to for sympathy, never suspecting he was responsible. I telephoned him-that evening and told him my wife had left me. He replied: ‘“That’s tough,’ and asked if I knew where she was. I said I did not know. He promised to see me the next day, but we did not meet. Two days later I met him and he asked me if I knew where Clara was. I said I did not and he said he had not found out, either.’’ Buol admitted he had no _ personal! knowledge of misconduct between his wife and Laubach, but based his suit for alienation on what was told him after the separation. In the support of the plaintiff's contention that Laubach knew all the time where Mrs. Buol was and that she had gone to his home, 2903A Victor street, when she left her husband, Witness Glasstetter testified he was with Laubach in a department store two days after Mrs. Buol left her husband and that Laubach bought two nightgowns, a belt and other articles for Mrs. Buol and then telephoned to his home and talked with Mrs. Buol.” Glasstetter also testified that on two occasions, before the separation, he went to the Buol home in the day time to do electrical work and found Laubach there. “I told him he had a lot of nerve to be there with his automobile when Joe was away,”’ the witness said. The witness also said Laubach asserted he had a lot of chances with other women, but that he preferred Mrs. Buol to anyone else. “After she left her husband,”’ the wit- ness said, “Laubach said to me he would like to have Mrs. Buol’s picture in her husband’s watch and that he couldn’t understand what Joe wanted with it, anyhow.” . Defendant Testifies. Laubach, in his testimony, admitted that on the first night after her separa- tion from ther husband, .iArs. Buol was at his home, and that when Buol tele- phoned, telling him of her departure, he said nothing to Buol about her be- ing there. But he denied that he had ever made love in any way to Mrs. Buol, or that he had kissed her, or talked of marrying her, of taken her automobile riding without her husband's knowledge. He had called at the Buol home ina Buol’s absence, he said, but had always told him of the calls afterward. He said he had known Buol 2 years, and that buol drank a great deal, his favor- ite drink being something stronger than the soda water which he manufactures. Mrs. William Puls of 3741 Laclede ave- nue, testified that Mrs. Buol rented a room at her home, under her maiden name, after the separation, under ar- rangements made by Laubach, and that Laubach called frequently,took her auto- mobile riding and talked of marriage.

WITH HEARST PUBLICATION Landed in St. Louis With 10 Cents and First Worked as a Lumber Piler. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec, 12.—John Schroers, formerly of St. Louis, but for the last two years connected with the Hearst newspapers, first as editor of the Ger- man edition of the New York American, called Das Morgen Journal, and later as an attache of the London bureau, dieg at 3 o’clock this morning of pneumonia. He had been ill only two weeks, but from the beginning the disease took a malignant turn. Yesterday morning he began to sink and despite the efforts of the physicians in attendance, he sank gradually and the end came early this morning. The interment will be in St. Louis, and the body will be sent to St. Louis at noon tomorrow. A son, Paul Schroers, of St. Louis, a stepson, Carl Kiemm of Kausas City, and a stepdaughter, Mrs. Charles T. Boyd of Fort Leavenworth, kan., are on their way to New York. Schroers was twice married, and his second wife, who was Mrs. Carrie Kiemm before their marriage, was the daughter of Carl Daenzer, for many years editor of the Abend Anzeiger. They had twin chil- dren, a son and a daughter, John and Jeanne, known to friends of the family as Jack and Jill. For nearly 30 years John Schroers was a picturesque figure in the newspaper world -of St. Louis. He was fond of telling that when he arrived here in 1877 he had 10 cents. Half of this he spent for a sandwich., With the re- maining nickel ‘he bought a newspaper in the hope that he might find work through the “‘help wanted” column. So great were his pluck, ambition and aggressiveness that three years ago this man who had a capital of 10 cents returned to his old birthplace in Aix-la-Chapelle, Ger- many, with wealth which seemed fabu- lous in that Old World community. Orphan at 12 Years, Schroers was left an orphan when he Was 12 years old. A month later he came to America. He found he could either become a bootblack or a newsboy. He decided he would rather be a newsboy. After trying the business for two months, he decided to try working in a shoe factory. Then he got a job wait- ing On the guests at a shooting park in Newark, N. J. Next he tried selling washringers. Schroers often laughingly recalled that he was arrested for selling these wring- ers witheut a license, but ran away from the police station and jumped on a train for Philadelphia. The conductor put him off midway to his destination and he was almost frozen before he could walk to a distant farm house. It was Christmas eve and the farmer took pity on the boy and took him to Trenton, N. J. “That w my first Christmas in America,” Qoroers said, “and how I do remember The farmer took me to a bakery conducted by a friend of his and said to the baker: ‘‘Here’s a little Dutch greenhorn. I’ve brought you a Christmas present.”’ The baker let me eat a’l the cakes I wanteft and I had a glorious Christmas. The baker baught me a ticket back to Newark.” Goes West in Stock Car. In Newark young Schroers worked in a bowling alley for a@ year and a half, then went back to New York and sold newspapers and magazines, but started West in 1875 in a cattle car laden with poor persons attracted to Colorado by the silver craze. Schroers got out at Omaha to look around and missed his train. That made bim a farmhand Next he worked in a rolling mill in Omaha. The manager of the mill sent him to Kansas City as es- cort for a sick boy whose father lived there. Schroers stayed in Kansas City and worked for a Wyandotte grocer for $5.50 a week. When he saved enough to buy a rail- road ticket, he came to St. Louis. After working a short time as a lum- ber piler he drove a feed wagon. In those days he could not afford ¢ nickel ” buy @ newspaper and it was his ustom. daily to stop his wagon in front of the Volkstimme des Westens office and go into the counting room to read the files. He attracted the attention of a clerk who told him that the editor Dr. Walser. was looking for a reporter. Schroers applied for the place and got it, the salary being $8. He often lauched when he told of the feed man’s surprise when he drove his wagon oack to the » —-ee eee —— - You're Troubled With : Constipation !

A few years later the Volkstimme be- came _ financially embarrassed and Schroers borrowed $600 from Mayor Overstolz and bought in the property. A month later he sold it for $1100. He was in turn reporter, city editor and manager of the Anzeiger des Wes- tens. Schroers brought about the con- solidation of the German newspaper in- terests in St. Louis under control of a corporation known as the German- American Press Association. The boldest step in his career was taken in April 1907 when, under his di- re tion, the German-American Press Association entered the English news- paper field of St. Louis with the publi- cation of the Times. In July, 1908, Schroers sdld his inter- est in the Times for $117,000 and with his wife and twins went to Europe on the first vacation he had had in more than thirty years. He was then 49 years old. CHAIRMAN FAY GOES BEFORE GRAND JURY Head of Democratic City Com- mittee and Others Asked to Tells of Election Frauds. The grand jury, which is investigating charges of frauds in the November, 1910, election in St. Louis, Tuesday.called be- fore it Herman Fay, chairman of the Democratic City Committee; W. C. Mc- Carty and Sidney Johnston, reporters for the Republic; Patrolmen Finn, Water- house and Edom, and several negroes living in the 600 block on Clark avenue. It was said Fay was to be asked what information his committee had of irreg- u‘arities in the election, and the report- ers were to be questioned about inter- views they wrote for their paper, in which fraud was charged. The negroes were to be asked about rumors of colonization and repeating in their district, it was understood. The policemen patrolled that part of the city on election day. APPEAL FROM LEWIS VERDICT GRANTED Judge Wurdeman Gives Defen- dant 60 Days to File Bill of Exceptions. Judge G. A. Wurdeman, in the Cur- cuit Court at Clayton, Tuesday, granted an appeal to the Supreme Court at the request of the Rural Publishing Co. of New York, which lost a $30,000 libel suit to, the Lewis Publishing Co. in July. The attorney for the New York company was allowed 60 days in which to file his bill of exceptions. The Rural Publishing Co. publishes the Rural New-Yorker. An article in this paper which said the E. G. Lewis con- cern had no connection with certain schools in which it offered correspon- dence courses was attacked as libelous in a suit for $250,000 damages.

Jennnings, Through These Dummies, Took About All Bank Had. ST. LOUISANS INVESTORS Man Indicted Lost All in Build- ing Enterprises and Wrecked an Institution. ‘ NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Herbert_ T. Jennings, who is accused of embezzling about $200,000 of the Mount Vernon Na- tional Bank‘s funds and wrecking that institution, was indicted today. The first alleged misapplication of the bank’s funds toek place July 6, 1910, when, ac- cording to the indictment, Jennings and Samuel K. Raymond, the” cashier, placed in circulation two certificates of deposit for $10,000 each, payable to the order of Joseph M. Fairchild, without any consideration except a promissory note of Moses Greenwood Jr., formerly of St. Louis, for $20,000, dated July (1, 1910, which was not secured. Jennings said he had sunk all his money in building speculations, notably in the Fitzgerald Building, at Forty- third street and Broadway. Among his associates in some of these undertak- ings was Edmund K. Stallo, father of/ the Stallo girls, whose fortune at one time was estimated at $50,000,000. St. Louisans in Deal. St. Louis and Missouri investors are said to have been drawn into some of the Jennings deals.. To carry out his realty speculations Jennings formed the Broadway and Forty-third Street Building Co. and the Hub Construction Co. While he inter- ested several wealthy men in these con- cerns, he seems to have financed them principally himself. In obtaining the money he is said to have resorted to the methods so popu- jar with his financial bank looters. Promissory notes executed by office boys, stenographers, and janitors were given the bank in_ return for the hundreds of thousands of dollars he is alleged to have taken from it. The last of the series of loans com- plained of was made March 6 last, and was for $2400. A loan of $850, made Feb. 1 last, to the Broadway and Forty-third Street Building Co., was on the note of xX. P. Wilfley. A loan to Killeen, an office boy, on Jan. 8 last, amounted to $2360, and one to John H. Behan, a janitor, on Nov. 19, 1810, amounted to $6750, it is charged in the indictment. Jennings was regarded as one of the wealthiest men of Mount Vernon. His embezzlements may aggregate $400,000. The bank ds now in the hands of a re- ceiver. It had only $600,000 in deposits and its capital and surplus were only $207,000. Jennings, it is charged, took practi- cally al] the bank had and then it had. to be closed. Jennings is a brother-in-law of Con- gressman Fairchild of Oneonta. A bank at Oneonta with which. Jennings was connected failed last spring and precip- itated the run at Mount Vernon. When the latter bank closed it was believed it could pay dollar for dollar, but the first dividend a few days ago was only 15 per cent.

Night sweats were 60 bad that it was necessary to change her clothing once or twice every night; her cough increased and got so bad that everybody expected that she would not live much longer.

OF CARDS INTO SUNDAY SCHOOL That Starts Trouble for Five Youngsters and Keeps Super- intendent Busy. MOTHERS GET INDIGNANT To ‘Add to Congregation’s Troubles the Church Has Been Without a Pastor. Willle. with a deck of cards. Said, ‘‘Let’s play casino, pards.’’ Quoth the teacher, ‘‘Better pass, Or else you'll spoil our Bible Class.’’ A deck of cards, displayed by a fun- loving boy in the Sunday school of the Ferguson Presbyterian Church, has caused further dissension in that pas- torless congregation, which has for some time been divided over the choice of a new minister. The boy was one of the five who sat together every Sunday in taught by Miss Haynes. out of mischief. to the superintendent, A. D. Green. decided to relieve Miss Haynes of that teach them. They Leave Hurriedly. The boys stayed through the lesson, but when the closing exercises .began, they seized their hats and hurried home, without waiting to hear the secretary’s minutes or sing the good-by hymn. What they told their parents, in two cases at least, caused indignant motkers to call on the superintendent shortly #ft- erward, and the superintendent had nis hands full, it is said, in explaining mat- ters to Mrs. John Leaver and Mrs. Baker. Mrs. C. F. Zukoski, mother of a third of the youths, telephoned to the superin- tendent, but her message was of a dif- ferent sort. She told the superintendent to do what he thought best with the boy, and asked that she be informed if the boy gave any trouble in the future. Elder George W. Hendrick, who had a part with the’ superintendent in 1re- arranging the Sunday school, declined Tuesday to say which boy it was who displayed the cards. He said he hoped the trouble in the school was over. for a year, and although the Rev. James Talbot of Sydney, Australia, has accept- ed a call to the pastorate, he has de- clined to begin his work untfl after he finished his course of study at the Moody Institute in Chicago next May. Lately a vote was taken on the ques- tion of recalling the Rev. M. V. P. Yea- man, a former pastor, who has many friends in Ferguson, but the vote was adverse. Subscription Withdrawn. After this vote, H. P. Jacqués, one of the principal supporters of the church, though not a member, is said to have withdrawn his subscription. His objection was that juvenile members of the church were permitted to vote on the matter. Two candidates for scheduled to preach in January the pulpit are and not decide in the meantime to begin his work without further delay. He is to preach for the congregation during the Christmas holidays. WOMAN FOUND IN RIVER NOT MURDERED Police Say Paddle Wheels Prob- ably Injured Mrs. Barbara Schmidt’s Head. The death of Mrs. Barbara Schmidt, whose body was taken from the river at the foot of Sidney street, is now be- lieved by the police to have been due to natural causes. Special Officers Fox and Meyer report that the crushing of the woman's head was done by ferry boat wheels or a launch paddle, They explain the absence of water on the lungs by saying Mrs. Schmidt was standing beside the river when she fell dead from heart disease and rolled into the river. She left her home Nov. 22 and her body was taken from the water last Friday. COFFEE STORE BLAZE CAUSES $2000 LOSS. Fire Discovered at 2 a. m.

IN HYDE CASE I HUNTED AT RIVER By Associated Press. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dee. 12.—Harry W. Waidton, who disappeared from the jury trying Dr. B. Clarke Hyde on a charge of murdering Col. Thomas H. Bwope, was hunted all last night and again today, but not one clew regarding him was received. The 11 remaining members of the jury awak anxiously news from the missing man. Judge Porterfield says Waldron must appear by tonight or the jury will be discharged. If he returns and is com- petent to serve, the case will procraad, Should Waldron return or be found no! punishment would be inflicted upon him until after this trial is disposed of. Even if the extreme penalty for his mis- demeanor were assessed he would be gubject to a fine of only $50 or a 10 Gays’ jail sentence. Judge Porterfield, @ is thought, would deal leniently with him. The Court realizes that Waldron has been working under a great strain, because of worry over business ven- ‘res, ever since he was accepted as a juror. Judge Porterfield has doné much to ald in keeping Waldron’ s dairy busi- ness in shape.

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATOH. IMORALITY SQUAD, HUNTING REVELRY FAILS TO FIND I Detectives Visit Dance Halls and Cafes Without Discovering Reason for Interference. QUIET NIGHT IS SELECTED This and Advance Tip That Po- lice Were Coming, Believed to Have Had Effect. If there was a sound of revelry by night in any of the dance halls, cafes or hotels Monday it was such a feeble little sound that the members of the newly appointed morality squad could not hear it. To be sure, Monday night is generally a “quiet” night. And it was known that the morality squad was coming. These things helped to keep order and decorum at places which have at times past given cause for complaint, and ing, give such cause again. So the morality squad had the mild satisfaction of believing that it had prevented a certain amount of disor- der. As for actually finding anything ‘grievously out of the way, that was left for later and livelier evenings. The Morality Squad has some new regulations to enforce. Girls who look too young to take care of themselves will not be allowed to enter dance halls, and “ragger’’ and grizzly bear dancing will be forbidden. Women who powder, paint and wear mounds of false hair will not be arrested for doing so, but they will be watched with more care than those who depend on nature for charms of complexion. In general, the behavior of dancers will be care- fully watched. The dance hall mana- gers have been asked .to aid in this matter, and have said they would do so. Detectives Campbell, Chrismer and McKenna, éspecially designated by Chief Young for this work, form the Morality Squad. Start at Washington i*@ll. A Post-Dispatch reporter accompanied the Morality Squad on its night tour. The start was made at Sixth street and Washington avenue at 8 p. m. The tour continued until midnight, when the lights were dimmed and the amusement seckers had gone. At the Washington dance hall at Sixta street and Washington avenue the music played gaily as the regulating officials entered. “Have you wie your tickets gents?’ asked a young man, whose hair was parted in the middle, as the detectives entered. He blocked the passageway and held out his hands in anticipation of the pasteboards. ‘Yes, announced Detective Campbell as he showed his star. The young man stepped back in ap- parent surprise and the party entered. About 25 women and 15 men were seated about the room. To the tune of “Casey Jones” a few couples were gliding over the floor. It was the-first dance of the evening. One young woman wore her cloak as she danced. After making a few rounds she released her partner, made a whirl, keeping step with the music, threw off her cloak and shot it across a railing. Without losing a step of the dance, she again clasped hands with her partner and they went on. 9 “Turkey Trot” Is Begun. Campbell said to the reporter as he looked about the room. When the music struck a lively bar in “Casey Jones,”” two couples begun a few steps of the turkey trot. “Is that worth a call for a patrol wagon?” the detectives were asked. “No, that seems to be on the ragged edges, but the couple is old enough to know better,’”’ answered Chrismer. By the time he had answered, the turkey- trotters had subdued their glides. There were no young girle at that dance hall. The morality censors next went Cambridge Court, at Seventh. and cust streets. They were met at entrance by a friendly man, who ex- plained that the crowd™“avas small and that Monday night is a dull evening in the cafes. A few men and women were seated at tables. Many bottles and a little lunch decorated each table. No young girls or women without escerts were found there. That it was not a lively cafe night was demonstrated when the detectives went to the American Hotel rathskel- ler and later to the Hofbrau, 215 North Tenth street. There were young women and male.escorts at tables eating and drinking, with little hilarity. A young man with his hair carefully parted in the middle and falling po- etically on each side of his forehead, was singing “Alexander's Ragtime Band,” accompanied by a piano, when the party entered the Hofbrau, but the diners only yawned. Find One Hall Is Dark. The censorship party walked west on Olive street to Ewing avenue, where a stop was made at the Cave Dance Hall. The darkened hall was a surprise to the detectives, as they had expected much gayety there. After reaching the darkness at the head of the steps, Campbell suddenly remembered that the hall did not hold dance sessions on Monday nights. ° On to Dreamland, on Olive street, near Grand avenue, the Morality Squad waiked. Some persons may have an idea that police officials ride free on street cars, but the moral censors walked Monday night. They did not want to miss anything on their rounds. About 750 persons were at Dreamland. White-gloved watchmen were at the door. Hats are not allowed to be worn on the floor of Dreamland, either by men or women. There is no smoking, and no wraps can be worn. A silent man in a white suit stood in the center of the dance floor while the to Lo- the dancers gvhirled about the floor. A band and the stage at one end of the hall,

was brilllantar “ented by ‘ ee Oe. were § Sc Sa : He which might, with a little less watch- its right here under my coat,’’ 7 “They are all old enough to vote,”

incandescent lights in fancy colored lanterns. Young men wearing red sashes walked about the promenades ready to intreduce persons who desired that service. The dancing is continuous here. As s00n as the floor is cleared a shrill whistle by the man in white was the Signal for another tune and the turn- Stiles begin to operate as the couples enter the floor. The dancers were well dressed, and no young girls were seen. “Men in Witte” Is Busy. A young man and a woman who in- sisted on hugging a little tighter than the rules allow attracted the attention of the “man in white” as they whirled about. He hurried to their side and told them to change positions. The young man was instructed as to the proper manner to hold his partner, and he went or with the dance. Another couple start-

ed a few steps of the “ragger whirl.” The “man in white” became active im- mediately. He Stopped the “rag’ and kept his eyes on the couple until the dance ended. “I guess the man in white will get them if they don’t watch out,”” volun- teered Detective Chrismer. The tour ended at midnight and the moral ecnsors had not found a violation upon which they could base a complaint. They jotted down a few notes to use in n aking their report—and will repeat the performance Tuesday night.

60 Poisoned at Poor Farm. PEORIA, IL, Dec. 12.~After finishing their Sunday evening meal, 60 inmates at the poor farm became suddenly ill and caused a panic at the institution. Phy- sicilans declared the inmates were suf- fering from ptomaine poisoning, the result of eating head cheese.

IG LEAGUE HAS PLAN FOR INQUIRY NTO CITY'S Vick The appointment of a Vice Commis- sion to investigate conditions in St. Louis and make a report on subjects like those covered by the report of a similar commission in Chicago, is be- ing considered by leading St. Louisans on the suggestion of a committee of the Civic League. The League’s committee on Public

Safety and Law Enforcement, has sent letters asking various heads of organ- izations and influential persons for their opinions on the question whether such @ commission is desirable. The League, it is explained, has not committed itseif to the proposition, but wishes to learn the general opinion on the matter be- fore acting. Robert C. Grier, former Justice of the Peace, is chairman of the committee, but his name does not appear on the let- ter, which bears no individual signa- ture. | Subject of the Letter. The committee, the letter states, has been considering the wisdom of recom- mending the appointment of an offi- cial commission along the lines of the Chicago Vice Commission. Its duty, it is stated, would be to prepare ‘‘a scien tific and outspoken statement of the so-

cial evil and other manifestations of vice; to deal with cases and conditions, not theories or opinions.” Such a body, it is further stated, .“‘will focus public attention on the question of remedies, and will establish in the public mind the idea that vice can and should be constantly repressed. “The committee has been in doubt,”’ the letter continues, “for our vice prob- lems are not as obtrusive as those of Chicago. “But it ig recognized that conditions in St. Louis are not growing better, and there are many indications that they are not as good as they were a few years ago. It is also recognized that vice is becoming to a large degree a commercial business in which the prof- its are enormous, and which is, there- fore, constantly stimulated artificially. Want Opigions of Others, “Before taking any steps, the com- mittee desires to secure the opinions of

tions active in public affairs, ing the creation of such a paar § G to be appointed by the Mayor.” g Roger Baldwin, secretary of the league, said when asked about the let- ter that it had not been intended to make the matter public until the com- mittee had received enough replies to reach a decision. He said about «a dozen responses had been received, but declined to indicate what view those answering had taken on the question.

Brown of 4616 Lindell bov]- evard Tuesday was the only remaining “insurgent” opposing the ‘‘invasion’’ o* that fashionable block by the St. Louis Woman's Club. He said that he was determined further to fight the purchase by the club of the home of William R. Donaldson, at 4600 Lindell boulevard. He said he was considering an injunction as a last resort. Other residents of the block told a Post-Dispatch reporter that they had ‘laid down their arms’’ and would make no further protest, since the Woman's Club, by a two-thirds vote, Monday de- cided to pay Donaldson $40,000 for his property. ‘“T am not ready to quit,’ said Brown. “We considered long and carefully be- fore we filed our protest. We knew what we were about, and I do not thirk we should give up. ‘“‘Apparently our respectful protest has been ignored, but there are more ways in which the fight can be carried on. I do not know but what the matter may be carried into court. “T have decided on nothing yet, but an injunction is not impossible. But lI want to say that our protest was «not made because the prospective invaders were women. If we have to have a club at all, the Woman’s Club certain- ly would be the least objectionable. “I, for one, am opposed to a Club in the neighborhood because of the stream of traffic it would cause. The members would be visiting the place at all hours of the day and’ night in motor cars. Their chauffeurs would be talking and moving about on the sidewalks, and there would be a constant stream of Caterers’ wagons delivering supplies. | “T can say with authority that every property owner in the block is opposed to the club, with the possible exception of Mrs. J. L.;:D. Morrison and Mrs. ‘Rudolph Limberg, who are members of the Woman's Club.” Spectal Election Held. For several weeks the Woman’s Club, occupying rented quarters at 3621 Wash- ington boulevard, had an option on the Donaldson home, and more than a week ago there was a special election on the proposition. The members balloted by mail, and Monday morning, at a meet- ing of the club, the vote was canvassed. The protest came in the form of spe- cial delivery letters to the members of the club, but the votes on the proposi- tion were cast before the objection of the property owners became known. ‘“T do not mind their protests,’’ Wil- liam R. Donaldson said. “I Know it to be a fact that Mrs. J. L. D. Morrison, next door to me, offered the Woman's Club her property, and I think I can safely say that the club might have had Any one of half a dozen other houses in the block. Mrs. Morrison of 4540 Lindell boule- vard, the next house east of the pro- posed club site, refused to say what she thought about the Woman’s Club invasion. She denied, however, that she had offered her home to the club. She would not say that she signed the protest, but other people interested in the fight on the club declared that Mrs. Morrison was one of the signers. ‘When some of the members of the club were talking about buying a home, I laughingly suggested that they buy mine, but it was only a joke, and I am sure it was considered that way,”’ Mrs. Morrison said. ‘I had no intention of selling my place. I did not vote on the proposition either by letter or at. the club meeting. That is all I cdre to say.” Mrs. William 8S. Thompson of 4605 Lindell boulevard, said: ‘“‘The men of the block did the protesting, not the women, but I think the women all con- curred with their husbands. There are only two women in the block who are members of the club, but that had noth- ing to do with it. The public should know that there was no jealously or other ulterior motive behind the pro- test. I approved of the protest. “This is a quiet neighborhood, and most of the property is restricted. It is true that the Women’s Club would be the least objectionable of any such or- ganizations, but if one club comes in, it will open the way for others, and there is no telling what we may get next. The stream of traffic, automo- biles of the members, caterers’ wagons and such things, would be most dis- tasteful to us. Of course the protest was not aimed at woman.” A Home Neighborhood, Mrs. Amandee V. Reyburn of 4634 Lin- dell boulevard, said her protest was hased purely on the ground that a club of any kind would be objectionable. Mrs. A. D. Brown, 4616 Lindell boule- vard, said, too, that there was nothing against the Woman’s Club as a club. It would be the same were it any other organization. M. E. Duncan of 4630 Lindell boulevard said: ‘““We are through. We have laid down our arms. We filed a respectful protest, and it was ignored. That is as far as We care to go. The property owners in the block unanimously op- posed the Idea of a club here because it would unnecessarily disturb the quiet of the block, and depreciate property. There was considerable talk for a week or more, and last Friday night a meet- ing was held in my home.* Only six of. the property owners attended, but the protest was drafted then, and I am told that’ practically every property owner in the long block signed it. Dhis was mailed to the club, but I am informed that they already had voted to buy the Donaldson home.”’ W. B. Ver Steeg of 4646 Lindell boule- vard said there will be no further fight; that the women had won. John S. Sultftyan ef 445 Lindell eates | a a an ; ie oe: OS re -_ B- eT ee Oe ee ; ae ‘ .

Tuesday overruled a Kobusch’s suit Judge Muench demurrer to George J. against the Mississippi Valley Trust Co. for $310,499.58, alleged to be usurious overcharges on a loan made to Kobusch. It was alleged in the demurrer that the petition did not set forth a legal cause of action. In his opinion, Judge Muench said: “The petition, though containing much recital unnecessary to such a conclu- sion, must be treated as an action for the recovery of money usuriously ex- acted. “The present statute provides that any person violating the prohibitions thereof shall be subject to be sued for all excess beyond principal and legal interest. “Thus construed, this petition suffi- ciently avers payments beyond principel and legal interest on the alleged loans. ’ In this ruling Judge Muench in no way passed on the merits of the case, but merely on the legality of the petition wee a pleading.

JUDICIARY NO RECALL Upon Election Depends the Poli- tics of Two United States Senators. i PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 12.—Arizona assumed the full sovereignity of a State today by electing its own Governor and acquiring for the first time two United States senators and one congressman. In all the 13 counties of the new State voting today was enthusiastic but light in comparison to the _ total population, for the reason that by the enabling act under which Ari- zona comes into the Union, the suffrage was restricted to the voters whose names were on the great register of 1908. Interest in the election centered the vigorous contest between Republi- cans and Democrats for control of the new State by the election of the Gov- ernor and the congressional delegation. The Democrats hope to elect both Mark Smith and Henry Ashurst as sen- ators; the Republicans declared today that Ralph Cameron, Republican dele- gate in Congress, was practically sure of winning one of the togas. Campaign manager for George W. P. Hunt of Globe, former President of the Con- stitution convention and Democratic candidate for Governor, declared he had a long lead over Judge Edward Wells of Prescott, the Republican nominee. The judiciary recall, a feature of the Constitution framed by the Democratic Constitutional convention, will be elimi- nated at the election today, President Taft, in consenting to the admission of Arizona, having made that a condition prerequisite to statehood.

AN AWAKENED OPPOSITION. The Sunday Post-Dispatch’s poll of represen- tative Democrats is significant, because there is not one note of discord sounded in a chorus of confident predictions of Democratic success. On the question of issues there is a unanimous vote for tariff reform. A large majority favored progressive as opposed to conservative policies. Progressive policies are not clearly defined. In

WHAT ‘‘CHRISTMAS-GIVING’’ MEANS. If anyone in St. Louis is disposed to adopt the idea of a “sane Christmas” from its Indianapolis headquarters, the Post-Dispatch is now holding open the best possible opportunity to put it into practice. Under the original “sanity” of Christmas, giv- ing in the spirit of Christmas must be without expectation of return. When people of mature and sophisticated intellect give presents to those who must give back something as good or bet- ter, it may be commercial sanity, but it is not really “Christmas-giving.” - Those who are managing the St. Louis Christ- mas Festival Fund through the Post-Dispatch ex- pect no return to themselyes, nor does anyone who gives that the neglected children of the city may be enriched for once in the year with the wealth of the Christmas spirit in gifts which are of great worth, as they make this spirit -visible, no matter how small may be their money value. Giving to children on the day which celebrates the birth of the infant Jesus makes the holiday a “holiday.’’ In that sense, the Christmas “holiday” is always a day of the highest sanity and health. ! a i ~~ ~~ SS Martin W.

Roberts of Massachusetts is to present to Congress the Federal incorpora- ‘tion legislation proposed by the Taft administra- ‘tion. It is interesting to observe that his bill ‘will include a “provision for holding directors of interstate corporations criminally liable for -ylolations of their interstate charters when such ‘violations are authorized by the directorate.” Coulq anything be more direct evidence that the plan is to furnish Federal immunity to Big Business, rather than to regulate monopoly? No director of any trust has been found crim- under the Sherman law. No -director of the thieving Sugar Trust has been ‘nent to prison for stealing from the Customs ‘Department, although the circumstances of its muitimillion theft were such that no man in his senses imagines responsible directors of the company did not know of its system of stealing.

addition to tariff reform, economy, anti-monop- oly measures, initiative and referendum are men- tioned by a few leaders as progressive, but ref- erences to issues other than tariff and the trusts are rare. : Wilson and Harmon, with an equal number of votes, lead the presidential candidates. Speaker Clark is next in favor, and among those men- tioned are Senator Kern of Indiana, former Gov. Folk of this State, Gov. Burke of North Dakota and Gov. Foss of Massachusetts. The contest is evidently between Wilson and Harmon, whose support is scattered over all sections. There is no mistaking the harmonious and confident tone of the responses. The Democrats expect to win, and for the first time in years are willing to pul] together. The country at last may depend upon an awakened, harmonious and confident opposition. There will be two par- ties in next year’s campaign. La Li Lr ~~ ae

Hadley paid $500 for an official State song. An equal sum is about to be given for a tune to sing it to. It is discon- certing to note that an Ozark ditty, a mere folk- ballad, which assuredly no one ever got 5 cents for composing, is gaining a popularity which threatens to make it the unofficial, de facto State song. Here it is: “Every time I come to town, The boys keep kickin’ my dog around; Makes no diff’rence if he is a hound, They got to quit kickin’ my dog around,” That is all, except the tune, which is de- scribed as being plaintively suggestive of the wails and yelps of the persecuted hev.id, and of tue remonstrances of his exasperated owner with the village youth. It seems to have originated in some of the re- mote settlements of Southwest Missouri, where passenger coaches on the distant railroad lines are still spoken of as “‘varnish cars,” and where the favorite expletive is “By Dawgies!” In course of time it reached the Springfield public square, and from there it has spread in various directions. Springfield boomers sang it in every town they visited on their recent automobile expedition to Sedalia, and not long ago it got into the Washington dispatches as a new rival to the old-time lilt about Joe Bowers and his brother Ike. A few nights ago a town marshal in Mam- moth Spring, Ark., a stone’s throw over the Mis- souri boundary, arrested a party of youths for singing it on the street. A little more publicity and the song will attach itself to Missouri as firmly as, in Spanish war days, “A Hot Time in the Old Town” attached itself to the American flag in our colonial possessions. ba (= = * —— = It used to be said that two-thirds of the St. Louis smoke pall was due to the Terminal Asso- ciation’s locomotives.

In several of the prairie provinces of Canada single tax principles have been enacted into law and are working out to the satisfaction not alone of their original advocates, but of the majority of the population. Still, it is uwnusua! that the land tax of Henry George is the main issue in the coming election in the older province of Ontario. It is hardly possible that the single tax will succeed in this first attempt to enact it into law in Ontario. But the fact that it is considered so seriously as to be mace an issue in a terri- tory. several times the size of Missouri shows that radical thinkers are not lacking ia our northern neighbor’s domains. -_—— -¢ +o ——__-—-— A lake bas escaped from John JD.

The article in last night’s paper, “Medical Lib- erty,” is one which all free-born, broad-minded citizens should fully consider. The last para- graph, “Keep pills out of politics, that the national health and the national ideals of freedom may not suffer,” should be an issue given your greatest consideration. There are at the present time en- tirely too many pills in politics. Whén you con- sider that it has advanced to the extent that you are not permitted to express your wish in regard

of the board in order to send your children to public school, what would it be if the physicians had full swing in making the laws? *Would it still be a free country? Little by little has our medical fraternity in- sidiously forced its way into politics, not for the sake of humanity, but for a chance to dominate over the people. Their great aim is to establish a national health bureau, which when established will cost the people millions of dollars, as the Government will have to defray the expenses and the political doctors reap the harvest. The cry today is, “Bust the Trust,” and it should be our greatest ambition to have medical liberty. Vv. J. W. Jail for Whistlers. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In answer to Congenial, I will say that I am willing to contribute liberally toward building a jail for whistlers—at least,’for those whistlers who are-so dull and vulgar as to whistle on cars, WEARY, Marriage Fees and Divorce. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. At some of the recent meetings in the Men and Religion movement, which, as we all know, is a movement by the Protestant churches and people, some of the prominent speakers advised that we should adopt the Catholic rules as to marriages, ir. that the ministry should refuse to marry di- vorced persons. We have it in the Scriptures that the love of money is the root of all evil, and if we applied the rule of no profits to the ministry of the country for performing marriage ceremonies, is it not likely .there would be fewer divorced persons married by ministers? Could John Jacob Astor have found a minister to marry him under con- ditions that prohibited the minister from receiv- ing any compensation, or gift, or tip? HINT, Whistle in the Right Place. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. - Poor Thomas! I feel very sorry for you, be- cause you can’t stand whistles. It makes me happy to think someone is happy enough to whis- tle. These particular people had better stay at home. We soon will hear complaints against reading in the cars, nickel is entitled to smoke, whistle, sing or read in the car. I go as far as to hum to myself in the car when I’m alone. Being a lady, I don’t in- dulge in such sport as whistling. MISS GOOD-NATURED. The Can’t-Cures. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Let us have fair play. Whena doctor makes a wrong diagnosis, or when his patient dies of a disease that is often cured, why not punish him and make him change his business? No college can make a doctor. One who cures disease must have intuition as well as education. How many doctors are intuitive? Is not the doctor “born, not made?” While we are protecting ourselves let us do it thoroughly. JUSTICE, Regulation of Dance Halls. To thé Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Your editorial in last evening’s issue of the Post-Dispatch under the head of “Dance Hall Ab- surdities’” was read by me with interest, and I wish to commend you upon the fair-minded stand that you have taken relative to this question. Your position in this matter is absolutely cor- rect and there is no reason why dancing, the same as other amusements, should not be governed by regulations.

THE CARDINAL’S HAT. From the New York Tribune. Those who have seen the Cardinal’s hat know why its possessor is glad that he has to wear it so seldom. Made of red felt, it is of enormous proportions, with a crown about 4 inches high and flat on top. Around the crown there is a cord of three strands, which, sep- arated at the ends, fall on either side of the face, each strand ending in an elaborate tassel; and the whole sug- gesting the cord and tassel with which the heavy window curtains of an older day were looped back. The biretta, éonferred immediately on new cardinals, resembles that worn by a prtest, except as to color being red instead of black. The street hat worn by cardinals in Rome and in Catholic countries gener- ally is wide and flat brimmed, with a low, round crown, differing from that worn by many priests in the same places only in color. This has often beén con- fused with the cardinal’s hat, but is quit different. —— | IN CHICAGO, From Lippincott’s Magazine.

The Daily Short Story for | Post-Dispatch Readers Drawn for the Post-Dispatch By C. M. Payne AN RENSSELAER had sat through many an embassy dinner, eating messy dishes out of ribbons and frilled papers, and offering his poly- got remarks to many foreign celebrity, but he glanced to- ward his left-hand neighbor with some apprehension as he finished his soup, making a hasty study of the ‘Princess, with her blue-black hair and her swarthy side face. There was a display of shoulder and blazing green jewels in the corsage, an impression of large outline and a persuasive person- ality. Clearly she was not attractive, he decided, and then, as she finished what she had been saying to the man who took her out, and turned toward Van Rensselaer, he instantly reversed his judgment under the compulsion of her dark eyes. .Whether or not she was handsome by ordinary standards he could not have told, but attractive, in- teresting, certainty and inexplicably odd. With her large, red-lipped mouth and gleaming white teeth she might have been a quadroon, or she might have posed to good effect as a gypsy queen in private theatricals. She spoke to him in French. “T suppose you are a senator, or a. general, or perhaps Cabinet member? You American men are so ostentatious- ly plain in dress. You abstain so care- fully from wearing your decorations on your evening coats that a poor foreign- er may not know.” He laughed. She was audacious, even for @ princess. “7 am sorry, Your Highness, but I have neither office nor insignia to my name. Indeed, I have been puzzling my inglorious head not a little to know why I am placed so illustriously at your side.” But he knew, and so did she, that it was because he spoke French like a Parisian, and was the cleverest diner- out in Washington. It was not until the first entree that they again took a turn, and she passed with evident relief from the heavy German of the Austrian Ambassador to her more accustomed tongue. They tasted and hazarded sug- gestions as to the composition of the dish before them. “Permit me, Monsieur,’ she broke off suddenly, “allow me one more guess, more _intimate—personal! I am a clair- voya.st, it has been said, and I have taken a great liberty. I have been read- ing your thoughts—will you allow me to tell you?’ Yan Rensselaer bowed, smiling his in- credulity. “You @o0 me much honor, Madame!” “Very well, you were looking down e table a moment ago when I ad- dressed you, past the green and gold Bohemian glass. I do not know what you saw, but it was something very far away—over seas, I think.’’ He flushed Slightly and assented. “We spoke of the entree, your mind on other things. I said ‘It is made of fish, fancy,’ and ye replied, ‘Since it is a game of guess, choose lobster.’ What you were think- ing was: ‘It is the world-old mess of tage—to be henceforth my daily read!’ N’est ce pas, Monsieur, un bon bon hazard?’”’ Van Rensselaer finished his wine and set down his glass. He was not smiling now, and the flush had died out of his cheek. He looked at her with a gravity very like displeasure. “Your Highness is indeed clairvoyant. It was a guess, it was the truth. Prin- ergy always tell the truth, do they made no reply, and the jewels in yng hair burned not half so _ deeply as her eyes. He wished that peo- oy who were clairvoyant would not fall oe ot ee~ de It was distinctly o 2, and not conduciv much,” sa the Princess softly, to ask what the birthright was?” t was too much, decidedly, and vet before he knew he answered, ‘‘Music.”’ “Ah,” murmured his questioner. “Prin > By ee each aon. ne. am haunt- ance. think my b- conscious mind, if I have one, nae some wandering over time and space to verify it when you caught me napping.

There is another and cess,” he said when next they not dwell. Yours is geographically lo- cated. Lhe other is not; ii is no man’s land. As it happened that other princess veionged to buin Bohemias.’’ “WhO Was she—and what?’ “Pardon me, she nad your eyes, but not your ancestry. She was a gypsy vio- linist in Prague. I have never seeil eyes like hers until tonight, and 1 shail never again hear a tone like that from her Violin.”’ if he thought he had punished her he was mistaken. She drew in her‘breath with an odd little sigh and looked at him from under her iowered lids. “I again read your thoughts, Mon- Sieur, and I honor you tor it. You are Saying to yourself that her real rank was as far above mine as your Bohemia was a happier land to dwell in than—let us say Russia!”’ It was after dinner when the women were grouped in knots in the long draw- ing room that the Princess managed to learn what she wanted to know of her neighbor at the table. “Van. Rensselaer—oh yes,’’ said the hostess. ‘‘We call him Fortunatus, he’s such a lucky dog. He's the last of an impoverished old American family, and was quite out of suits with fortune when he met his wife. I believe he was knocking about Europe consorting with al sorts of shabby musical people, study- ing to be a pianist. She fell so desper- ately in love with him that her father was obliged to allow the marriage. She had always had her whims gratified and she threatened to kill herself if denied” this one. There was some delay about +it and then the wedding took place, with the compact that he was to give up his profession. I fancy that was no great hardship,”” she laughed, ‘as the price was three million down and the hand of the richest heiress in America. It is not a difficult metier to be rich, Princess!’’ “I think it is sometimes very difficult,’”’ was the surprising answer. It was at the bidding of a scented note with a coronet on it that Van Rensselaer found himself a few days later entering the apartments of the Russian. “It’s a thundering annoying sort of thing having your mind read, and I hope she won't be up to it again,’’ he grumbled. She was clad in flowing red garments, ornamented with gold filigree, and a finely wrought gilt girdle hung down from the clasp of the hem. Van Rensse- laer. felt the costume to be so barbaric as to be out of good form—too theatri- cal, and yet her manner was_ simple enough. “We were speaking that night,’ she began as if they had just left off, ‘‘of*, ‘soda. same of salt and two teaspoonfuls of music, Hungarian music, or were we only thinking of it? I was hoping you would play for me today.”’ “TI never play, more,” and he felt a thrill of annoyance |™oderately deep. as if someone had pushed against him roughly. The Princes arose and crossed the room, taking up a violin that lay on the open piano. ‘“‘Then you will listen to me?” she said. She played with such mastery of the instrument, such sympathy and love of the work, that Van Rensselaer was moved out of his reserve. He laid aside his hat and gloves, and sat down by the piano. Once more he threaded through exquisite harmonies and filled the scheme with the piano accompaniment he knew so well. For more than an hour they played with no words save “Do you remember this?’’ or ‘“‘Another composer has solved that problem thus —you know it,’’ leading and following by turns through those paths where only musicians may walk in happy knowl- edge. “And now,” said the Princess at last, “do you remember?’ She stood straight and tall in her barbaric reds, the gold ornaments gleaming in the late slantin light, and Van Rensselaer had no nee to wait for the strains that were com- ing. He was back again in student days and through the cigar smoke of the music hall in Prague, he could see the Gitana, more slim and girlish, but, witn the same strange eyes and the blue- black hair, while above the clink of the beer glasses and the soft shuffling. of the waiter’s feet he could hear the witchery of her gypsy music—that half- remembered strain that had teased him s0 often through the intervening years. Back and forth flashéd the bow, while her figure swayed to the mad motions and then came the sad cadence with the heartbreak in it that often character- izes the Hungarian music. Here she broke off and laid the violin on the piano, then she came and put her hand on Van Rensselaer’s shoulder. “You know me now. I was also a Ro- hemian and I also sold my birthright for a mess of pottage! Ah. comrade. it is a grand country, that Bohemia—but we are not worthy of it. and there is no going back! But it is still left to us to be true—true to a compact, and one dis- honor is enough!” The Princess held out her hand in farewell and dismissal, and Van Rens- selaer kissed it reverently. He felt un- steady on his feet as if he had been drinking. “Good-bye,” she said brokenly, “T shall not see you again, for I am going away tomorrow—back to my Darby in Russia. I shall think of you sometimes when I dream of Bohemia, and TI shali pray that you be not too unhappy in your exile. Be good to your Joan.” ae ~ | 4 greater Bohemia where such as you may ee | ee mee TF itr Pe FNM ‘ ee, ‘ om, ASEY says: “I am satisfied that some cows have more sense than average man.

It was what I had been dreading from day to day. I knew he’d have to 40 back some time—but I had hoped that it would be far, far off! I felt as though someone had given me a deathblow.

I don’t think I ever really said ‘‘Yes.”’ But he krew from the wonder in mv eyes—and he kissed me. “I was afraid you wouldn’t,” he said a& moment afterward. I looked at him amazed. *‘You can’t mean that,” I sald. even if I didn’t love you I’d—” ‘“‘No, you wouldn’t,” he interrupted. “But just to -settle all doubts tell me you do love me.” And after I had told him to his com- plete satisfaction I added: “But to think of a splendid, handsome man like you wanting to marry a girl as unattractive as I am!’’ “My own little girl,”’ he answered, rather gravely, “‘I am neither splendid nor handsome—just an ordinary man who loves you—and you are NOT un- attractive. Come, I'll prove it to you.” He pulled me over to the corner, where a large, square mirror hung. It looked so queer to see his face, close to mine, reflected there and his arm around me. ‘‘We'll begin with the hair,’”’ he sald. ‘It is red, a trifle brighter that titian, perhaps, but it is soft, glossy and has a curl in it that you have always squelched.” He pulled it out a bit so that it fluffed and kissed it. ‘“T love your hair,”’ he said. ‘‘Now the eyes—blue, true blue, clear, healthy eyes, devoid of languor, maybe, but brilliant with a love for me.”’ He closed my lids gently. ‘T love your eyes,” he said as kissed them softly. ‘Your nose tips saucily. In novels it would be called retrousse and the hero would rave about it, as I do.” He placed a tiny kiss on the tip of my nose. : “And, last of all your mouth—the mouth that told me from the first that you were the woman I wanted for my wife. The sort of mouth that shows you are one who would stick even more closely in adversity tha’: in prosperity. And your lips are sc... and warm! I love your mouth!” After a moment I looked fn the mirror and, even to me, my face had change?®?. There was a radiance about it that transfigured all the blemishes and made it almost good to look upon! And so, after a girlhood made misera- ble by my lack of beauty, I can appre- clate a thousandfold the glory of being loved, of being petted and taken care of. The Unattractive Girl has at last found her happiness. THE END. “Why, he Packed at Home.

But, mind you’’—— Promptly at the close of school Master Jarr and little Miss Emma Jarr, at- tended by their families and friends, came clattering up the street with their school books and sundry small parcels. Some 50 feet in the rear puffed Mas- ter Izzy Slavinsky carrying a pasteboard shoe box. The children stormed up the stairs discoursing Christmas at the tops of their shrill voices, contradicting each other flatly and making open accusa- tion of high crimes and misdeameanors against each other in that frank and open way that is such an endearing trait of happy childhood. At the approaching invasion, Mrs. Jarr, with much misgiving for having consented to it, fled to the front of the flat, while Gertrude, the Jarr’s light running domestic, slammed the kitchen door shut on herself. The youthful hosts, scattering coats, knitted caps, rubber overshoes and school books down the hall and around the ‘dining room gathered in crowded disorder around the table with much jostling and admonitions to ‘“‘Quitcher pushin and began to banter each other on their several personal posses- sions of a mysterious nature. “I betcha I got more’n you got.” “Aw, shut up!” ayes el THE JARR uz FAMILY ——_ Written for the Post-Dispatch.

It was evident that the present convention of children of the neigh- borhood had been brought about be- cause of the wonder tales of the far land Master Jarr had told. It was also apparent that his young friends had gathered round him with their treasures of trade tokens, such as stamps, that were being hoarded up for Christmas presents. ‘Now, tell us what you seen when you was at your grandma's,” com- manded several voices. “Not till everybody gives me two trading stamps or four cigar coupons,” replied Master Jarr, the boy Marco > Polo.

INDIA'S EMPEROR AND EMPRESS AR CROWNED AT DELHI Ceremony Marked by Richness of. or and Magnificence of Coloring. WAR VETERANS CHEERED Emperor, in Imperial Robe of Purple, Gives Signal for Program Opening. By Associated Press. DELHI, India, Dec. 12.—King George V and his consort Queen Mary were to- day proclaimed Emperor and Empress of India. The culminating act of the English monarch’s accession, to the throne of his vast Indian Diisiadie took place amid a scene which for rich- ness of color and magnificence of deco- ations, probably has never been sur- passed in modern times. The crowning was followed by an act ef generosity on the King-Emperor’s part, of which a slight hint had already been given. The Viceroy, proclaimed that the King-Emperor was to denote a large sum of money to promote pop- ular. education and that further gifts would be made. "The huge amphitheater which had been erected in the Durbar camp was thronged from an early hour. The bright tissues and sparkling gems of the many Indian princes and the smart uniforms of the soldiery comtrasted strongly with the white dresses of the Isuropean women and the sober garb of civilian officials. Indian Women of High Rank. The great feudatory princes and rulers of India with the leading British offi- cials, occupied seats of honor near the pavilion in the center. Screened from the gaze of the curious by a lattice framework, a number of Maharanis and other Indian women of high rank occu- pied two sections of the front galleries. The interval of waiting was beguiled by the playing of military music. The soldiers played a large part in the Dur- bar and a guard of honor composed of 100 picked men was drawn up before the central pavilion. Troops of every arm surrounded the arena in a com- pact mass anda lineof soldiers extended along the route of the royal approach. Cheers heralded the arrival of a little band of veterans, the survivors of the armies which had made the present Durbar possible. The-old fighters in their weather-beaten uniforms strove to Keep up a show ef military formation as theywmarclied to the privileged place allotted to them, but ggnerally it was impossible and many of them limped to their seats. »Almost immediately the vice-regal procession came into view. Escorted by a brilliantly uniformed native body- guard, the Viceroy and Lady Harding sat in their state carriages, drawn by hlooded horses, with outriders uniformed in scarlet and gold. ' Royal Carriage Approaches, + Then the booming cf an imperial sa- lute announced the approach of the Em- peror and Empress. The royal car- riage, drawn by four magnificent horses, was almost hidden from view by the gaily caparisoned escort. The mperor wore a robe of imperial pur- ple, a surcoat of purple with white gatin breeches and silk stockings. He tu decked with the collars of the or- ers of the Garter and the Star of India, and also with the star of the lat- ter order. ‘The Imperial Crown consisted of a Her of diamonds studded with large neralds and sapphires with rubies in ithe center and a cap of purple velvet thrbed up with ermine. The Queen-Empress’. dress was of white satin, embroidered with a design roses, thistles and shamrocks with border of lotus flowers. The Star India was embroidered on the front f her dress. Her ,|Majesty’s Imperial robe was of purple velvet, trimmed with mine and with a border of gold aid. She wore the Orders of the arter and the Star of India. Her or- ents weré a diamond and emerald lace and brooches. Carriage after carriage with members the sults followed the Imperial pair. fie. guard presented arms and the nds burst into the Royal anthem. The combined processions proceeded sjowly to the great central tent where heir Majesties stood to receive the and congratulatiens of the gov- ernors, the ruling princes and other rep- resentatives of British India. {When the gorgeously uniformed line lad filed past, the Imperial and Vice- Regal parties appeared before the vast blage in the Durbar amphitheater. hen they took their seats on the mson, dafs, the strains of the Na- nal anthem were heard and the peo- 6 rose as one. person and stood in allence. It ,Was & pretty group around the four thrones of the Emperor, the Em- the Viceroy and Vice-Reine, at back of which the Imperial ana VaceiRera! staffs and the Imperial cadets corps, composed entirely of youthful princes and scions of princely families, formed in rank. “The first formal act of the ceremony Was performed by the Foreign Sécre- tary, who advanced to the dais and asked permission of the Emperor to open the Durbar. At his signal a long

roll from the drums and a thrilling cal! the bugles were sounded, followed triumphant peal of music from the Then @ note from the heralds’ sliver trumpets rang over the ) lain.

*) Wallace Arrives in New York but f Does Not Attend Session— Q’Day to Manage Reds.

ron > 3 A by . + *. ; vgs ¢ rh » % val ¥ is , Se ud 2 fy : 3 ? © ' BY W. J. O'CONNOR. (A Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch.) NEW YORK, Dec. 12. HEN the American League club owners convened here at noon time for: their annual election of officers and the transaction of other important business, Robert Lee Hedges, president and principal owner of the St. Louis American League’ club was conspicuous by his absence. Inquiry developed that the steamer on which he emibarked from Galveston for New_York, and which was due here this morning, was delayed by a fog. Manager Rhoderick Wallace of the Browns arrived late this morning, but éid not attend the meeting of club owners. Two important news items in connec- tion with players and managers were decided early in the day. They were: That Hank O’Day, former National Leagee umpire, would manage the Cincianati Reds. | That Kid Elberfeld, of Washington, will go to the White Sox next season. O’Day’s Selection a Surprise. The selection of Henry ‘‘Hank’’ O'Day, dean of the National League umpires, to lead the Cincinnati Reds, next sea- s0n, proved the biggest surprise of the current National League meeting. Pres- ident August Herragann of the Reds an- nounced his selection today. ‘There are many unbelievers among the hewspaper men and magnates. Sev- étal refused to take the tip and waited for a confirmation from O’Day, who modestly acknowledged his appointment. O’Day has been an umpire in the Na- tional League for years. Prior to that he was a pitcher, playing with Wash- ington and Chicago. Connie Mack was his battery mate. |

His selection means that Miller Hug- gins will continue at second sack for the Cardinals. Steininger Holds Balance. The election today developed more in- terest than had been expected at Na- tional League headquarters. During the early morning it was apparent that the re-election of Thomas Lynch had not yet been made certain and that the bal-’ ance of power, for the second time in two years, lay with the St. Louis Na- tional League club’s voter, President Edward A. Steininger. Mr. Steininger would not say which way he intended to vote, and during the morning he had several conferences with the Murphy-Fogel- Ebbets combina- tion, which was supposed to Be an- tagonistic to Lynch. When the League went {nto executive session it was still dubious which way the cat would jump. ot The failure of President Hedges to show up early in the day put the talk about the sale of the Browns to Wat- Kins of Indianapolis still further tn the air. Watkins and a syndicate of cap- italists had given out they were in the fleld to ge® one of two major league clubs reputed to be on the market: the Boston Nationals and the 8t. Louis American League team. Mrs. Britton Will Be First Woman Ever Admitted to Executive Meet meeting, which promises to be no lady-like affair, Was the presénceé of Mrs. H. Schuyler Britton, owrer of the Vandeventer avenue pliant, in the convention chamber. Mrs. Britton is stopping at the Wal- dort with her husband. No baseball meeting in the history of the game was ever attended by so much éxcitement and #80 few results as the - current one. The National Commission yesterday went into the 100th round of its death struggle with the alleged ticket scandal. When the Pooh-Bahs « secluded themselves in the de luxe par- lor of the Waldorf at noon it was ¢e- ported that they would reach a decision before tea time. However, the dinner bell rang and no one emerged from the siar chamber session. About show time the great triumvirate laid aside busi- ‘ness to breathe a bit of balmy air along ‘the Great Pallid Way. They will grap- - ple with the scandal monster again this morning—with no hope for a decision in sight. > | When the National Commission 16 tons : vyened: the “wise guys.”’ which is another i name tor ancient newspaper men and young a that J O™ interesting feature of today’s Johnson's yes- | 1

cutcheon would be stained ere the meeting Was over. ‘Tis said that Brush had evi- dence, presented in a legal way, which cleared his club of all blame. Brush also submitted proof, it was said, that one ticket good for a seat in the National Commission’s section ‘and tendered complimentary to Ban Johnson had fallen into the hands of a New York lawyer through the channels of the scaipers. This evidence was produced with affidavits. it was said. Brush further produced evidence which whitewashed Secretary Gray. Baseball men to the man say Gray’s withdrawal from the secretaryship of the Giants was not the cause of any scalping scandal. Gray. it is said, was not ‘“‘heavy’’ enough for the job. He knew how to handle crowds, sell tickets and count cash, but he couldn’t fathom the mysteries of ‘‘inside’ baseball—meaning the business end of the game. So Gray went. Joseph O’Brien. a man who has devoted his life to the game, came. The only news of any consequence was the appointment of Harry Wolverton as a successor to Hal Chase. Rumor now has it that Chase will go to Chicago. Some say Cleveland; but just bet your meal ticket that if Chase leaves New York his next per- manent postoffice address will be Chicago, U. 8.

In jts stead is born the Interna- tional League, including the same circuit as the old organization. The new name was adopted because the circuit includes Canadian cities, and is certainly more appropriate. Baseball owes this organization a little extra consideration. Not only has it been one of the tightest little leagues in the game, always order- ly and well-conducted, but it has intro- duced baseball into Canada, where to- day it is all but the national game of that country. It is now probably more generally played by Canadians than soc- cer, lacrosse or Rugby football.

for Berths as Kinsella and O’Connor in Line Scouts for Cards.

NEW YORK, Dee, 12. ANTED: Two scouts. Apply W Roger Bresnahan. Watch for that “ad.” Bresna- han has tied the jingling brass boiler to Jack Houston and Charlie France, his gum-shbed hirelings of the past season. Any sharpshooter whe would send up such men as Reed, Radabough, Biock and a few others should be siipped the blue envelops, Bresnahan deciares. So Houston and France, who traveled under the name of McCarthy, have been given the merry pint could predict that Dick Kinsella will scout for the Cardinals and not shoot very shy of the mark. Kinsella. a Turee-s League magnate, is in Bresnahan’s party her®, and attends all the Car- dinal confabs. That he is to be identified with the Cardinals in some capacity is generally understood, and the wiseacres gay he will do the scouting. ~ Jack O’Connor is the nominee for the other scouting job. How e€r, no announce- ment of O’Connor’s retention has byen made. to Manager Bresnahan of the -Cardinals and Chief Corsair Clarke of the Pitrates held three long conferences yesterday. Barly in the morning Bresnahan and Clarke sought a secluded corner and talked and talked. About noon they again “ac- cidentally”’ met at the Walcott Hotel and chirped again. They had dinner together in the evening and seemed to speak of other things besides birds and flowers. Howewer, neither would divulge a ‘secret. One thing is sure. Clarke wants waivers on two players whom Bresnahan intends One of them is Ham Hyatt, who, Bike Dode Criss, is & renowned fence- buster, but a poor palipiayer otherwise. Bresnahan réfuses to let Hyatt slip back to the Association. Evers to Be Manager. Charles Dooin did a matinee idol act at one of the Broadway theaters yesterday afternoon and then hied himself to the Waldorf. Dooin met President Fogel in the corridor, but the pair-didn’t speak, Both said many uncomplimentary things about the other, and aired their troubles with such reckless abandon that it was evident to even the outsider that all chances of patching up the differences be- tween magnate and manager are gone. A trade sending Dooin to Chicago for Evers, who will manage the Phillies, ig rumored. ee By a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. the clever southpaw pitcher, whose home is tn Newark, from the Cardinals.: ‘T’ll just make a little bet that if Salmon plays big league bail he'll play with the Car- dinals,” chirped Roger today. Edward Barrow has been re-fécted president of the International Leagud for five years. The International League for- merly was the Bastern League. Copy- readers will hot approve of the change, as the new name is too long to fit in heads. Billy Grayson, the voluble owner of Louisville, who claims St. Louis as his home, objects to the. selection of a league president for more than one year. Bill protegted when Barrow got his five-year sentence. He also dislikes the permanent presidency of Ban Johnson. ‘The trouble is,’ says Grayson, “that when a president gets a long term he will do things that he wouldn’t gare do if his office expired at the end of one year. Just see what Ban Johnson has been doing.’ Grayson favors the ‘‘recall’’ presidents, of baseball President Tom Chivington of the Ameri- can Association, says Mr. McNulty, the St. Louis umpire and trotting-horse man, will not handle the indicator in the As- sociation next season. "Mack got a trial and proved all right, but I didn’t have a place for him,”’ was Chivington’s way of putting it.

-. ill NEVADA FIGHTER IS ARRESTED AFTER BOUT NEVADA, Mo., Dec. 18.—**Kid’* FYerns, the welterweight fighter, who ™ knocked out Harry Brown of Kansas City in a bout before the Nevada Ath- letic Club, in the fifth round, last night, was arrested this morning on a State warrant sworn out by the County Prosecutor, Lee B. Ewing, charging him with participating in a “prize fight.”” A warrant was also issued for Brown, but he had returned to Kansas City on the morning train. The Chief of Police in Kansas City has been wired to arrest Brown as soon as he reached Kansas City and return him to Nevada. Ferns was released on a $1000 bond signed by the athletic club's officers. The action is thought brought as a test case of the Missouri boxing iaw. It will be determined just what a prize fight is.

Johnny was a star in his time, but he hasn’t fought in years. He's liable to get hurt, for this Dixon is a rea] boxer. “Chalkey Germain has been boxing right along and is fit for a good fight.

Hobnail Tracks Remain as Trail : ot the Slayer Despite Heavy Rain.

That the authorities of Jefferson County have found a promising clew in the cabin murder mystery became ap- parent Tuesday from a statement made by Prosecuting Attorney Miller at Hills- boro, Mo. While the prosecutor would not- divulge the nature of the information he’ has received, he admitted it was so. important that it would possibly “result in official action by Wednesday. “I am detained in Hillsboro by an- other murder case today,’’ he said to a reporter of the Post-Dispatch, ‘‘but I hope to have this out of the way by'! tomorrow. I don’t mind admitting, how- ever, that I have a fairly well-defined theory about the cabin murder, but | wish to satisfy myself by some personal ee eens before I do anything.”’ . Hobnails as Clew. “Grnether the clew of the boot with the six hobnails has led to this theory could not be ascertained. This clue, which is the only tangible one thus far made public, was discovered by Deputy Sheriff Roy Bendure of Decatur, lll., who had charge of the blood-hounds which tracked the assassin from the window of Martin Hunning’s cabin in Sugar Creek valley, south of Murphy, M%., to a copse where the footprints were visible and later to the top of a nearby cliff where they were again seen. Although a rain had followed the mur- der, the assassin had crossed ploughed ground and walked upon damp earth oh the hills. The rain did not obliterate his tracks, but did make them suffi- ciently indistinct to make it certain they were imprinted before the rain and not on the morning after the murder had been discovered. The impression of. the six hobnails was clearly re- tained. Prosecutor Miller and Sheriff John L. Bechler visited the Hunning farm late Monday afternoon and went over the story of the murder again with Mrs. ‘Hunning, who was in a hallway of her home when the shot that killed her husband as he stood at the telephone was fired through a window. Searching for Clews,. Barney Kortert, vone of the first neighbors to reach the side of the dead man after Mrs. Hunning had _ tele- phoned an alarm, has been active in the investigation. He said Tuesday that no new trace of the assassin had been found, although the work was being kept up with all diligence. The funeral of Hunning at the High TRidge Lutheran Church Tuesday morn- zing was largely attended. The widow "qf the murdere man and his aged s thdther were the chief mourners. Hun- ‘ning had lived in that neighborhood all hiz life and the church was crowded with farmers of the vicinity, The Rev. Peter Goebel, pastor, conducted the services. ELECTION FRAUD -.
