JURORS’ OATH. You and each of you do solemnly swear you will well and truly try the issues joined in the cause now before the Court.and a true verdict render according to the law and the evidence. so help you God?’

The 12 jurors in the McDermott will contest case stood firm Wednesday in their refusal to sign the verdict, pre- pared for them Tuesday afternoon by Circuit Judge Withrow, in favor of the defendant, the Rev. Father John White, pastor of Holy Innocents’ Catholic Church, and executor of Mrs. Bridget McDermott’s estate. The deadlock, or strike, as it is termed at the courthouse, has lasted nearly 24 hours. Judge Withrow, at 16 a. m., jury before him for the third time, and asked the foreman, Henry C. Hartmann, whether the jury was ready to sign the verdict ordered by the Court. “We are ‘not,”’ said Hartmann, and the jury was sent back. It was not heard from again in the morning, except for a request that better drinking water be provided for the juryroom. This re- quest was granted. The jury was excused at noon Wednes- day until 10 a. m,. Thursday. One of the jurors, George M. Ravold, had an engagement to sing ata funeral Wednes day afternoon. The will contest.case on trial was in- stituted by .sars. Mary Farrington, She contended that, after having helped, from her savings, to buy property for her mother, she was cut off in the will with $1, through Father White’s influ- ence. Father White was Mrs. McDer- mott’'s pastor and confessor. Outside Influence Denied. The witnesses in behalf ne the will were James J. O’Donohoe and Louis Fasterling, who testified thet Mrs. Mc- Dermott was of sound mind, and was not uncer any undue outside influence. Mrs. Farrington, the plaintiff, then testified that she hed frequently seen Father White at her mother’s home, and that, while she had never heard any conversation in which he sought to influence her about the will, she be- lieved he had made such an attempt She was asked by Attorney Thomas E. Mulvihill, representing Father White. it she romembered a sermon preached by Father White at her brother's fun- eral. She said she did not. It was stated later that thts sermon, by its plain speaking, gave offense to Mrs. McDermott, and that therefore the priest would not have been likely to have great influence with her. Maggie and Josie Goetz, who also re- ceived $1 each in the will, testified that they had seen Father White with Mrs. but had heard no remarks wk‘’ch would tend to influence her about the will. Futher White then testified that he culled about twice a month to hear Mrs. McDermott’s confession and ad- ininister the sacrament, she being ar. invalid. He denied having sought to influence hér in temporal matters. > Judge Orders Verdict, Judge Withrow then addressed the jury, stating that no evidence had been fhown, either that Mrs. McDermott was incompetent to make the will, or that she was unduly influenced He, there- fore, instructed the jury to bring in a verdict sastaining the will, ard handed the foreman a blank for the verdict. The jury retired, in charge of Deputy Sheriff Frank Hassemer. The jurymen aid not return and after waiting 15 minutes Judge Withrow sent for them. Foreman Hartmann said the jurymen were unanimous of the opinion that un- due tnfluence had been shown and that they could not coascientiously sign a verdict eustaining the will. The Judge explained the law and sent the jury back. In a short time Deputy Hassemer was called to th® jury room end it was supposed by the court at- tnaehes that the jurymen had signed, but instead of that they had agreed to “stick it out’ and had takeh up a collec- tion and wanted to send Hassemer for cigars and cigarettes.

Foreman Hartmann said they had not and were not willing to sign it because it Was not their verdict, They thougiit. he said, that, “as American citizens,” they had the right to decide the case instead of having the Judge decide !t for them. “You don't comprehend the situation. ‘The called the:

MIME, LANGEVIN 3 FORMAL PETITION DEMANDS DIVORG Separation, Custody of Children and Separate Maintenance Asked.

Cable to the. Post-Dispatch and New York World. PARIS, Dec. 13:—The name of Mme. Curie, the discoverer of radium and one of the most eminent professors of chem- istry at the College of France, was cited today in a petition filed in the di- vorce court by the wife of Prof. Lange- vin, also a professor of general and ex- perimental physics, at the College of France. Mme. Langevin asks in her petition for separation and the custody of her children. She also claims separate main- tenance, on the ground of her husband's alleged misconduct, Prof. Langevin, through his lawyer, entered opposition to the form of the petition. This procedure is customary in France, even when the parties to the suit have reached an agtfeement, but ne*hing definite can be concluded from this fact until the Court announces its decision, on Dee. 2. I~™e. Langevin’s lawyer also submit- ted documents containing letters alleged to have passed between Mme. Curie and Prof. Langevin, which he contends prove “grave injuries,” this term meaning either physical violence or marital! in- fidelity. Maitre Coudy announced in court that if a separation (which becomes divorce in France at the end of three years) is granted, Mme. Langevin will withdraw the complaint which she brought in the Criminal Court against Prof. Langevin and Mme. Curie. Otherwise, she would let that allegation take the ordinary course. The™awyers refuse to sav whether a genera. agreement has been reached be- tween t. » parties. They apparentiy are awaiting ¢for the Court's decision on the questfon of separation.

ING GEORGE'S SOTER RESCUED RUM SHIPWREGK Princess Louise and Her Daugh- ters Among Those Taken Off Stranded Steamer.

e GIBRALTAR, 13.—British royal- including King George’s sister, the pec. ties, Princess Louise, with her husband, the Duke of Fife and their daughters, were placed in jeopardy today by the strand- ing of the liner Delhi off Cape Spartel in Morocco. They were rescued while a heavy sea was running. Immediately after the news was re- ceived here, all available tugs and sev- eral war vessels were dispatched at ful] speed to the scene. Lifesaving appart- us also was sent both by land and sea. A storm was :iaging, and it was diffi- cult for the rescuers to get close to the Delhi, but with the assistance of the “rench cruiser Friant, sent by the French naval authorities from Tangier, the women and children were taken off and landed. , The Duke of Fife remained on board. The Princess Royal and her daugh- ters were taken in the lifeboat and landed at Cape Spartel. From there they traveled to Tangier, where they went on board a warship and proceeded to Gibraltar. It is believed there is no immediate danger of the vessel foundering, but hitherto the efforts to get her off have proved unavailing. The weather grew worse and the smaller vessels assisting in the rescue work found difficulty in keeping near owing to the surf. The Princess Royal has sent a wire- less message to Queen Alexandra say- ing’ ‘‘all are safe on board the De hi.”’ ‘che message was sent through the “\re- less station at Cadiz and the Prin. ess added a request that it be made public. The Governor of Gibraltar, Lieuvren- ant-General Sir Archibald Hunter. is preparing rooms at the Government house for the reception of the Princess Royal and her family on their arrival bere. The latest reports say the Delhi is lying broadside to the beach. There is a heavy swell.

IST. LOUIS MOTIIER KIDNAPS CHILDREN FROM CHICAGO Marion and M@garet Holmes Taken by Her pn The.r Way to S¢ pool. MOTHER: — 1, ARRETED

Father Says He Will Fight for Daughters—Not Sure He Wants Divorce.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Dec. 13.—Mrs. Ralph J. Holmes, who came from St. Louis to kidnap her little girls, Marian and Mar- garet, 7 and 9 years old, seized the children near the public school at Down- er’s Grove today and sped away with them in a taxicab. She was arrested at Aurora, 20 min- utes later, by policemen who had been notified to intercept her there. Both Mrs. Holmes and her husband formerly lived in St. Louis. He was formerly chief clerk in the Chicago Postoffice, but recently engaged in busi- ness here. On arriving in Aurora, Mrs. Holmes went to the Burlington depot and bought a ticket for Burlington, Io. From there she said she intended to go to St. Louis. Her face was heavily veiled and the fices of the children-were covered with tlack clotk. Their strange appearanuce attracted much attention before police- ren rushed into the station and ar- rested the mother. Mr. and Mrs. Holmes’ final separa- tion was three months ago. They had r.any quarrels in recent years. Mrs. Holmes went to St. Louis. Her return here, she says, was for the express pur- pose of carrying off the children. She arrived here this morning and drove to Downer’s Grove in a taxicab. As she neared the school the mother saw her children walking along with their Pooks under their arms. Children Were Overjoyved, “There they are,’’ she cried. The chauffeur, whom she had taken into her confidence, jumped from his seat and called the children by name. They ran tc him and_taking one -nder each arm, he placed them in the taxicab. The children did not recognize their mother overjoyed to see her. “Life is not worth living,’’ sobbed Mrs. Holmes as she was led to a ‘cell. Marian, seeing her mother in_ tears, threw her arms around Mrs. Holmes’ neck and cried, ‘‘Mamma, mamma.”’ Both children wept when their mother was imprisoned. Mrs. Holmes was Miss Mamie Dow'- ing of St. Louis, daughter of Policeman Thomas Dowling, who died about two years ago. Before her marriage she had charge of a department in a big Jown- town store. A few days ago she visited the store here where she formerly worked and told friends of her plan to regain pos- session of the clildren. She said she would go to Chicago and disguise her- self as an old woman and carry off tine little girls in an auto ‘ Ralph J. Holmes was an inspector in the St. Louis Postoffice when he and Miss Dowling were married. They did not live happily together. There was a separation and Mrs. Holmes went back to work in a department store. Recon- ciliations and separations were fre- quent. Policeman Dowling, Mrs. Holmes’ father, was for many years stationed at the old Lindell Hotel, and later was on duty at the St. Louis approach of Eads Bridge. When he died he had served on the force longer than any St. Louis policeman.

HAGERMAN A

Tells Court of Money Lender’s Unpopularity and General Conviction of. Guilt.

John H. Vette, money lender charged with usury, represented by Jeptha D. Howe, in his attempt to obtain a change of venue, Wednesday produced 25 prom- inent business men to tell Judge Calvin N. Miller in the Court of Criminal Cor- rection that it ‘would be impossible for Vette to get a fair trial in St. Louis be- cause of prejudice. Prosecuting Attorney Howard Cidener put on an equal array of just as prom- inent men to show that Vette could be given an impartial hearing. Otto Stifel, brewer and _. politician, called by Howe, said that Vette’s busi- ress methods generally were condemned. He said that many poor people had come to him with tales of woe about being in Vette’s clutches, and he had helped them out of his own pocket. William Grafeman, dairyman, testified that he had heard Vette assailed often, and knew his reputation to be bad. “They are getting after Vette’s scalp,”’ was an expression Grafeman said he had heard on the streets more than once. Charles Sutter, a manufacturer in the Carleton -Building, ‘told the Court that he had heard Vette generally con- demned, and said that it was common talk that Vette was guilty. James Hagerman Jr., former city col- lector, the first witness called for Vette, said that he had heard Vette’s reputa- tion and business methods discussed fre- quently, and believed that there was a prejudice against the man that would prevent a fair trial being given him. Prosecuting Attorney Sidener, cross- examining Hagerman, asked if he thought he could give Vette-a fair trial if cH®sen onthe Jury. “The. ‘foriier collector said that he thought he could. Carleton on Stand. Murray Carleton, wealthy dry goods merchant, said that he had known Vette since 1876, and said that Vette's business methods often had been con- demned in his hearing by bankers. Carle. . said that in his capacity as director * several banks he had heard Vette talk.” about a great deal, and never favorat. *. Howe asked C. ~leton if true that thé news,apers had created prejudice against Ve ‘*e. Prosecuting Attorney Sidener objectea *hag the best way to introduce newspape: testimony wei to produce the newspapers in court. Howe retorted that if he did that, the room would be filled with files. Judge Miller ‘sustained the objection. Other witnesses called by Vette were Roland Hill Johnson, former prosecutor of St. Louis County; Otto Stifel, brewer; Joseph Dickmann, former Sheriff; Frank Tate, vaudeville producer; Michael J. Mulvihill, furniture dealer; Nelson Bar- nett, pawn broker; F. J. Foster, 601 Olive street; William Grafeman, dairy- man, and Robert L. Pierce, 1926 Frank- lin avenue. Many Witnesses Called. Among those called by the prosecu- tion to show that Vette can obtain a fair trial in St. Louis are James E. Smith, president of the Business Men’s League; Hiram Lioyd, contractor and politician; Charles A. Stix of the Grand-Leader; John Cafferatta, cater- er; Fravrk Gerhardt, free bridge advo- cate; Charles KF. Wenneker, president of the Million Population Club; Otto F. Karbe of the Million -Popula- tion Club, J. C. 8S. Shannessey of the Central Trades and Labor Union, Nich- olas Scharff, wholesale grocer; Dr. H. E. Ferrell, Ben Westhus of the South Kroadway Merchants’ Association und Louis Schaefer of the St. Louis Dressed Beef and Provision Co. Vette is charged with making a loan at usurious interest to Mrs: Sallie A. Cromwell of 2847 Washington avenue. J. J. Spaulding, a former Justice of the Peace, was called to tell about the many times Vette had been plaintiff in his court. He said that everybody W’ » had spoken of the man in his presence seeemd to think he charged usurious interest. “From. what you say Vette must be the most unpopular man in St. Louis,’ Attorney Sidener observed on cross-ex- amination. “Yes, I belli ply. Frank Tate, who has known the mon- ey lender for 3 years and lunches with him regularly at a downtown restau- rant, in response to an inquiry said he could give Vette more than an impartial trial. Asked what that meant he re- plied that he would stand by his friend. it were not he is,’’ was the re-

Josiah Buol, known as Joseph Buol, is suing Henry Laubach for $2,- 000 for alleged alienation of Mrs. Buol’s affections. Buol has been in St. Louis mnost of the time since his separation from his wife, Jan. 12, 1910, and had never had any intimation that his wife had divorced him. He knew she filed a divorce suit in St. Louis, but he knew 15, also

also that Judge Shields su't, and he supposed that ended her ef ort.

O’Keefe and Ceorge W. Wellman, Buol’s lawyers, and on béing asked whethér she was the plaintiff's wife, she said: | “No, Um not. I was divorced at Rolla, Mo., Dec. 15, 1910. Iawent to Rolla ir: September, filed suit in October and got the divorce before Christmas. Serv- ice was by publication. I was told at the time that Buol was not in St. Louis.

Her Friends, Buol gasped with surprise’ and the lawyers looked at each other In sur- rrise, while some of Mrs. Buol’s women friends foi#ot court rules in their ex- citement and began talking almost aloud to each other until the warning taps of a gavel silenced them.

A request by a wife that the court hurry up and grant ‘her a divorce be- cause she ts all ready to be married to another man was received by Judge Fisher in the Circuit Court Wednesday. The letter, which was from Mrs. Rose Cc. Richmond, 2715 Cass avenue, was or- dered filed with the other papers in the divorce case and will be considered when the matter comes up for trial in the latter part of January. The letter was dated Dec. 12, and said: “Dear Sie—Hope you'll excuse the liberty I take in addressing you. I have my case of divorce in your court and thought it would come up long before now. Have just heard from my attorney this morning that it may not come up until January. Could I plead to you to have it come up earlier, as I am very much in need of it. I am without support, years of age and have a chance to marry. Am all ready to marry as soon as I have my decree.

The sister is Mrs. Wilhelmina M. Wehner, wife of Charles E. Wehner. Formal notice of the adoption reached the Clayton Courthouse by mail. It was in the shape af a deed certified by Charles E. Hannauer, a notary. This unique document attracted great interest among county officials, but it was in every way legal in form and was placed on the records. It gives no reason for the adoption and merely states that Wigge- desires to make his sister-in-law his “heir, child and devisee."" Wigge's wife died in October. Wigge is about © years old, and Mrs. Wehner much younger. Mr. and Mrs. Weliner and Wigge occupy a home to- gether at 19 St. Charlés place, Shrews- bury Park. Mrs. Joseph Wehner of Webster Groves, sister-in-law of Mrs. Wilhel- mina Wehner, said the real purpose is to make Wfilhelmina’s daughter Henri- etta heir to Wigge’s estate in return for her services in nursing Mrs. Wigse for two years.

Having been around my father most of the time during his illness, I became familiar with the symptoms of Bright’s Dis- ease, When I had my first attack my face became swollen and all grew black before my eyes and I felt as though there was little hope for me. After having several of these attacks, I began taking Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root, which my wife recommended to me and noticing some improvement continued its use for one year, never missing one day, but taking same as regular as though a physician was prescribing for me. It is now. twa years that I discon- tinued the use of Swamp-Root, as I consider myself absolutely cured ‘of any trouble, having had ‘no use for a doctor or any other medicine and have been able to resume my position on the road. I fully believe that had my father taken Swamp-Root in time, he would have been alive today and we would have been saved many @ big doctor bill. I believe that if people afflicted with any kind of kidney or bladder disease would take Swamp-Root in time thee it regular, they would

Fog Cayses Crash On Two Trains, One Meets Death Continued From Page One. ger, George Nieland of 3856 Schiller place, St. Louis, was severely injured. Both cars were well filled, but the pas- sengers inside the cars escaped injury ether than slight bruises. Nieland, an employe of the Bell Telephone Co., was thrown between the cars, and several ribs were broken. He was taken to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital) in Granite City. Following the accident, orders were issued for all cars to run slowly until the fog should clear. The fog was one of the densest seen in the Tri-Cities for many years.

Four Autos Collide, Third Hits a Car. The heavy fog Tuesday morning caused a collision between the automo- bile of David Treichlinger of 4531 Mary- land avenue, and an unidentified car, at Lindell boulevard and Taylor ave- nue. Treichlinger’s machine, driven by John Hackman of 1202 Hodiamont avenue, as it turned east into Lindell from Taylor, struck an automobile going west. Treich- linger and the chauffeur were thrown out but only slightly bruised. The car was damaged $150. The other auto kept on going and disappeared into the fog. The police did not learn the identity of its occupant. The automobile of Thomas Higgins of 709 Summitt avenue, Eats St. Louis, collided with a southbound McKinley System car at Ninth and Salisbury Streets at 5 a.m. The fog made it im- possible for Higgins and the motorman to see each other. The automobile was damaged $100. Higgins was unhurt. Taxi Driver Picks Wrong Hotel in Fog. Ricard Gradwell, manager of a type- writer branch office in. Chicago, came to the conclusion that St. Louis not only had a fog but had changed a great deal within 80 days when the chauffeur of a taxicab stopped Wednesday morn- ing in front of the Laclede Hotel and tried to convince Gradwell that it was the Southern Hotel. Gradwell araived at Union Station Wednesday after a trip of 30 days. He looked at the dense fog and called a taxicab. He directed that he be driven to the Southern Hotel. The taxi ran slowly through the streets and stopped in front of a large building that did not look familiar to Gradwell. “Is this the Southern?” inquired Grad- well of the chauffeur... “Yes,”’ wae his answer. “Well, it don’t loek like it to me,” Gradwel) said, as he peered through the fog. “Oh, I beg your pardon,” the chauffeur said. “I lost my bearings tn the fog. This is the Laclede Hotel.’’ A few minutes later Gradwe]] alighted in front of the Southern and had a “smile” with the chauffeur. Passengers in Trolley Car Are Jolted. The motorman on Bellefontaine car No. 1001 clanged his gong and peered cautiously ahead trying to run his car carefully in the dense fog Wednesday morning. He had lost time for several blocks. He thought he had a straight track ahead and let out a few notches of the power. When the car reached Twentieth street and Bremen avenue, it struck a curve. , The unexpected jolt threw the standing passengers itn the car into nearby seats, several alighting in the laps of those occupying seats. The motorman stopped the car, looked ' around and found no injuries had re- sulted to the passengers, smiled, and Went ahead more slowly.

“MINERS URGE ON RESUUE GANGS ty Associated Press. BRICBVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 13.—Raps reard in a shaft adjoining Cross Moun- ain Mine, in which more than one hun- ned men were entombed Saturday norning, led rescue squads to the belief ‘hat more men are still alive and im- _ %risoned in the back workings. ‘», Men under direction of the Federal escuers hewed at lateral entrances with renewed energy after they received re- - ports of the rapping. Before the re- sewed indication of life in the mine was made, members of the rescuing squad had abandoned. hope of rescuing any %ther entombed men. It is believed that Sam Miller and a party of miners are the living men still n the mine. The rescue party, headed by Dr. J. A. Holmes and Dr. J. J. Rut- ledge, is now working between laterals 2 and 22. It is thought they may bring out more living miners within the next few hours.

Good results come after the first dose. If your druggist does not have Toris compound in stock he will get it for you in a few hours from his wholesale house.

SERVICE PENSION BLL 1S. PASSED BY THE HOUSE Eighty-Four Democrats and 8 Republicans Vote Against the Measure. ADDS $75,000,000 TO ROLL

———— 400,000 Pensioners Entitled to $20 to $30 a Month More if Bill Becomes Law.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—The Sher- wood Service Pension bill, which would add millions to the Government annual expenditures by granting increasing pen- sions to Civil and Mexican War veter- ans on the basis of length of service, was passed by the House last night, despite the determined opposition of many Democratic leaders. Secretary of the Interior Fisher has estimated that the bill would add $7,- 000,000 to the pension roll, if the 400,000 veterans eligible take advantage of the increased wage. The Republicans who voted with the 84 Democrats against the bill were Gardner, Gillette and McCall of Massa- Chusetts; Hill, Connecticut; Kent, Cali- fornia; McCreary, Pennsylvania; Payne, New York, and Utter, Rhode Island. Speaker Clark voted with the majority cf his party for the bill, and Democratic Leader Underwood, and Fitzgerald of New York, chairman of the Appropria- tion Committee, voted against it. Senate Will Go Slowly. | The bill now goes to the Senate, where there is a disposition to pass some form of amended service pension legislation. Senate leaders, however, will proceed slowly in the consideration of this leg- islation and many House Democrats vot- ed for the measure in the belief that the Senate would not pass it. The Sul'oway age pension bill, passed by the House last Spring, failed of pas- sage in the Senate at that time. This Republican measure was offered unsuc- cessfully in the House, as a substitute for the Sherwood bill. Scores of amend-

More than one year, $30 per month. Important Changes Made. Two important changes were made in the Sherwood bill during the all day battle. A joint amendment by Repre- sentatives Rauch of Indiana, and Cox of Ohio, struck out the provision deny- ing entrance to Federal Soldiers’ Home of veterans receiving more than $25 #@ month pension and refusing to State homes Federal aid for the support of such pensioners. The restriction against the payment of any pension to a vet- eran whose income exceeds $1000 a ye was voted out on the motion of R’ ¢e- sentative Rucker of Colorado The fight on the bill was wed along political lines to a conside uble extent, and members of each p? «y charged the other party with bur .6mbe in its atti- tude toward the o}4 soldiers. Prominent Democrats attacked the bill as directly opposed to the Democratic principles of economy and destructive of the plans to .reduce the tariff. , Chairman Fitzgerald of the appro- priations committee fought it’ because of its tremendous draught upon fhe treasury.. Representative Harrison of New York, a leading Democrat on the ways and means committee, declared that the bill “knocks in the face all pretentions made by the Democratic party in the last campaign.” ‘ NEGRO SHOOTS AT HER, WOMAN DISAPPEARS Police Fail to.

She told me a negro had tried to take her handbag and when she resisted he drew a revolver and threatened to snoot her if she made an outcry. She struggled with him and screamed for help.

When the belt operating part of the machinery slipped from the shafting in the beef-killing department of Mofris & Co. in National City, Ill., Val Polasik, a laborer, attempted to put it back with- out stopping the motor that revolved the shafting. He was caught in the loose belt and whirled around the shaft from floor to ceiling a dozen times before other em- ployes could stop the machinery. On each revolution Polasik’s body struck a railing surrounding the motor. At St. Mary's Hospital, in East St. Louis, it was found that both of Po- lasik’s legs and one arm were brokgn, he received internal injuries and a frac- tured skull.

HITCHCOCK ALSO SCORED Better Success Is Predicted for Organized Efforts to Land Democrats.

By a Slaff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—The_ St. Louis delegation left Washington convinced that it had been double- crossed both by Presidert Taft and Postmaster-General Hitchcock on the national convention proposition. ‘Secre- tary Nagel also was censured for not giving the St. Louisans a tip as to what had been already done by the ad- ministration. “Although President Taft and Hitch- cock both declared they would be neu- tral as between St. Louis and Chicago, giving the St. Louisans the impression that their fight would be without inter- ference from the administration, it was ascertained shortly before the commit- tee met yesterday that their efforts to send the convention to Chicago never ceased. The St. Louis men censured Nagel for not telling them frankly at the outset that the administration fa- vored Chicago. He permitted the St. Louisans to work themselves almost to the point of exhaustion and did not tell them the true situation until an hour before the committee met. President Rolla Wells of the Busi- ness Men’s League, said the league would pow concentrate its efforts to get the Democratic National Conven- The league will begin a thorough, systematic campaign” immediately, the groundwork of which already has been laid. Another strong delegation will be sent to Washington to attend the Dem- ocratic National Committee meeting, Jan. 8. President Mills. Talks, “On our arrival at Washington it was apparent that the Republican party managers would decide to hold their na- tional convention in Chicago and a large majority of the National Committee was in accord therewith,’’ President Wells said. ‘‘We have no reason to believe that the*méeting place of the next Dem- cratic national convention has_ been agreed upon in advance of the assembly of the National Democratic Commit- tee. a “There should, therefore, be no cause for discouragement on the part of the people of St. Louis, and the Business Men’s League will concentrate every ef- fort to obtain the National Democratic Convention for St. Louis.”’ DEMOCRATS SPLIT OVER W. R. HEARST Mayor Seeks Democratic Con- vention While National Com- mitteeman Opposes It. CHICAGO, Dee. 13.—Mayor Harrison has appointed a committee to obtain subscriptions toward a fund to offer for the Democratic Convention for Chicago. National Committeeman Roger C. Sul- livan is understood to be opposed to hav- ing the convention here and members of the National Committee have privately stated that since W. R. Hearst is being boomed as a candidate for President by iis own newspapers they would oppose holding the convention in any city where Hearst has newspapers. As it is supposed both the Bryan. and the Eastern conservative committeemen will be agreed on this policy, those who are on the inside regard Chicago as out of the running. National Republican headquarters will be established soon after the New Year, when Harry S. New of Indiana, chair- man of the subcommittee in charge of arrangements for the convention, will be in Chicago. Practically the same ar- rangements will be made at the Coli- seum for the 1912 convention as pre- vailed at the 1908 meeting, when Presi- dent Taft was nominated. There will be about 15,000 seats for spectators. —_—__—__—— OKLAHOMAN WILL FAVOR ST. LOUIS

13.—Tate Brady, TULSA, Ok., Dec. committeeman, is Democratic national for St. Louis’ as the place for holding the next national convention of the Democratic party, and here are his rea- sons as he gave them today in an in- terview in the Tulsa Democrat: “T believe that the convention should be held in some city centrally located, so that the people from the Pacific Coast and people from the Atlantic Coast would not have to travel clear across the continent in order to attend. I know that the facilities in St. Louis are ample to care for any crowd which may go to the convention. “T prefer St. Louis to Chicago, Balti- more, Buffalo or Denver, for the rea- son that she is our neighbor and friend. Our people from the South and the West and the Southwest feel more at home there than they do in any other city in the country. I prefer St. Louis because it is closer to Oklahoma, to Texas, to every other state in the coun- try except the Middle Western States than the others. For this reason I shall vote for St. Louis and shall use whatever influence I have to secure the location of the convention there. I have received some three hundred let- ters and telegrams soliciting my sup- port for various cities for the holding of the next Democratic national conven- tion.” Mitford’s popular-priced (a la carte) lunch- eon and dinner. served quickly.

COMPLAINANT IS i 8 3

Has Undergone an Operation and His Condition Js Con- sidered Serious.

By Associated Press. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—The District Attorney, who is trying to prove that Lillian Graham and her chum, Ethel Conrad, planned to murder W. E. D. Stokes when they shot him at their apartment last June, today returned to the task of discrediting the testimony of the two show girls, whose story pre- sented the case in a very different light. When court reconvened today the de- fenve temporarily suspended Miss Con- rad’s examination to give Dr. Avac Cutujian an opportunity to testify about his treatment of Miss Conrad last May while she was ill in the apartment she shared with Miss Graham. His testi- mony was brief and confirmed what the girl had already told about her illness. The girl admitted that her first stage engagement and the notoriety she gained from an attempt at suicide were pretty close together. She denied that the at- tempt was bogus and for press-agent purposes. Received $20 a Week. Miss Conrad said she had two the- atrical engagements aggregating about six weeks. She got $20 a week. Miss Conrad’s attorney gave out the statement she said she had obtained in the summer of 1910 from the young man of Plattsburg, N. Y., who, she says in-' sulted her. The statement was signed “Charles L. Miller,’’ and recited that, although he had seen the girl only once before, he had induced her to take an automobile ride. During this ride, the statement says he made insulting prop- ositions to Miss Conrad, but she indig- nantly repulsed him. Finally the state- ment says, Miller drove Miss Conrad to her home, but did not enter the house. Statement of Man. The statement concludes: “She never drank with me nor smoked cigarettes in my presence. Ashamed of myself for having caused a lot of un- truthful gossip as to my relationship with Miss Conrad. “T will do everything in my power to vindicate both her and myself. Buck- ner tried to show that Miss Graham’s alleged attempt to kill herself a few days before the shooting was not real, and that the girls had arranged it for theatrical effect and also to ex- tort money from Stokes, but Miss Con- rad stuck to the story both had told about it. ‘She denied indignantly that she had helped the Graham girl write the let- ter prepared before she took poison. The Prosecutor fired questions often with apparent continuity, but the girl was always on her guard and always ready with an answer. Ir expressing her opinion of Stokes the girl became so vehement that Jus- tice Marcus warned her to remain calm, and Miss Conrad begged his pardon. She said Lillian Graham had perhaps 100 letters from Stokes. At Miss Conrad’s characterization of policemen as ‘“‘old tattle tales,’”’ eight of the jurors laughed aloud and the young woman herself had to stuff a handker- chief in her mouth to stifle her mirth. Jack Rosenthal, a loan broker, testi- fied briefly regarding a loan of $2000 made on June 28, 1910, to Mrs. Singleton, Miss Graham’s sister. When Miss Conrad came back to the stand, after recess, Robert Moore, her attorney, questioned her about. the Plattsburg incident. She told how she called on Miller and demanded satisfac- tion. “I took a pistol out of my bag,’ she testified, ‘‘and told him I wanted him to write a statement—the truth. He was so excited that he could not write, so he called his brother and dictated the statement to him.’”’ The statement was then read to the jury and put in evidence. Refused $5000, She Says. Miss Conrad was arrested and put in the Plattsburg jail charged with assault, she said, and while locked up _ the man who had insulted her called and offered her $5000 for his statement, but she refused. Stokes, his physicians say, is very sick and they do not even discuss when he will be able to finish his testimony. He underwent an operation yesterday. Several small abscesses were removed from his kidneys and, although he stood the operation well, some anxiety was expressed today regarding his condition. EDWARD S. ROBERT DIES; ILL FIVE DAYS Edward S. Robert, one of the best known lawyers in St. Louis, and trustee for several estates, some of them ag- gregating millions of dollars, died from uremia Tuesday night at St. Luke’s Hospital, after five days’ illness. He was 55 years old, and was a son of the iate Rev. P. G. Robert, for many years rector of the Episcopal Church of the Holy Communion. He was married six years ago to Mrs. E. W. Madill, widow of George A. Madill, former head of the Unaton (now the St. Louls Union) Trust Co. Mrs. Robert has been in England for several months, and Robert lived during her absence in their home, formerly the Madill mansion, at 4140 Lindell boulevard. He was stricken with ill- ness last Thursday, and was operated on last Saturday. Four brothers, Douglas W., Lee and Dr. John Robert of St. Louis and Dent Robert of San Francisco, survive him.

ae PRICE IS NOT TEMPTING TO BROWNS BIDDERS —SsaE a Louis American Team Will Not Change Owners Nor Managers, De- clares President ot Club at New York. — By W. J. O’CONNOR, A Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 13. OBERT LEE HEDGES, president of the Browns, will NOT sell his holdings in the St. Louis club. Neither will he displace Bob Wallace as manager of the merry tail-enders of Ban Johnson's league. Mr. Hedges arrived on the scene of action late yesterday afternoon his steamer’s arrival having been delayed. He was just in time to attend the annua] meeting and vote for the resolution which has created a stir in basebal] circles. After being cornered in the Wal- dort Hotel, the headquarters of the National League, Col. Hedges said: “I have no tntention of selling my clab. No one has offered me my fan- ey figure and so I intend to hold. “The club is for sale if the buyer will pay my price, but just put a bet down that no one will tackle the proposition at my figures. Yes, sev- eral have asked me to set a figure. I did, They never have called again. “Of course, Bob Wallace will man- age the team next year. That is a certainty. Wallace showed enough to warrant further trial and he’s going to get it. “He has the nucleus of a good team and I intend to let him build a win- ner around that nucleus. He will stay another year at least.” When asked whether he intended to digpense with the _ services of Lioyd Rickart as _ secretary, Mr. - Hedges said: “I have not decided to let Rickart g0, His work always has been satis- factory. ‘However I don’t care to discuss that matter. All things will adjust them- selves in a few days.” Mr. Hedges came late and.will leave early. He was the last American League magnate to arrive and he will be the first to go.

Resolu- tion by American League Pre- cipitates Row. By W. J. O’CONNOR. A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—The first gun of a possible baseball war, which might mean the dissolution of the national agreement, was fired over the festal board at the Baseball. Writers’ Asso- ciation banquet last night. ‘The American League's resolution to break with the National unless. the American League is allowed to handle the sale of tickets for all inter-league games, on A. L. grounds, fs the cause of all the disturbance. In the meantime baseball magnates are trying to quiet the rumors. When -sked for an explanation of the situation this morning President Hedges of the Browns said: “Oh, don’t take this too seriously. The National League probably will act fa- vorably on our resolution and the mat- ter will drop there.’ But the National League may not act favorably on. the — proposi- tion. The National Commission, Herr- mann and Lynch especially, regard the resolution as a slap at them. The Na- tional League magnates will concede nothing to the junior organization. The tempest began brewing in a tea- put Monday, when Charley Murphy sent broadcast a satirical] statement in which he nominated Ban Johnson for the presi- dency of the National League. This was followed by a statement from Lynch, in which the parent body president said that Ban Johnson would be censured should his charges«of collusion between the New York club and the ticket scalpers not be proven. Johnson real- ized that he had a slim chance of sub- stantiating his charges and resented the Lynch statement. Rushes Resolution Through. So when the g@imerican League mag- nates convened yesterday for their usual cut-and-dried annual meeting, merely a meeting of formality, Johnson hur- riedly put through a resolution which awakened baseball men to the fact that the American and National leagues were at outs. The American League resolu- tion adopted after 15 minutes’ delibera- tion is as follows: “Resolved, that the American League will continue to exercise its privileges and observe its obligations under Na- tional agreement, but will decline to have further official intercourse with the National League except so far as may be requisite for the safeguarding of fits territorial and player rights. “Be it further resolved, That the American League will not be repre- sented in another series for the cham- pionship of the world or in any other inter-league event unless accorded sole charge of the sale of tickets to games played on its grounds, under an agree- ment and with the understanding that it shall not assume responsibility for the conduct of the business department of games at the park of the other contesting club.’’ National League men were inclined to ignore the resolution at first. At least no one would talk, but faom the start, they regarded the matter seriously. The word was passed around all the Na- tional League magnates to keep mum. They did. However, al] attended the banquet given by the Philadelphia club at the Hotel Astor to the Baseball Writers’ Association of America last night. When the writers: and the magnates sat down to the elaborate feast, and when the wine corks began to pop, they forgot the American League resolution. They were inclined to think it a big joke, Ban Johnson, acting as toastmaster, made many speeches which eventually became wearisome. His enunciation was growing poor and the banqueters were getting tired of listening. The fun was running to riot, when, like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, the scribes heard Mr. Johnson say: “Gentlemen, I want to tntroduce to you a great baseball man—aq man who tries to do what is right. I want to introduce a man, who, if he had read our resolution, would probably not be with us tonight. Gentlemen, listen to Mr. Herrmann of Cincin.- 1C. B.C.

Hank will have one great opportun- ity, if he only seizes it: It will be to illustrate what is the proper thing in managerial deportment on the ballfield, from the standpoint of one who has been an umpire. Knowing all the many and disgusting things which managers do and say that might be eliminated, Hank can illus- trate just what the manner de rigueur for managers should be. Therefore will we not expect to see Hank, during the course of the season, as leader of the Reds, approach one of his former associates as follows?— “I implore you, Mr. Umpire, to recon- sider your decision in this matter. It is quite possible that, from your posi- tion, you thought you saw the play properly; but if you will be so kind as to step over here, you will observe,” etc. Will we not expect to see this?

LEDS PLAN WITHDRAW FROM SOCCER LEAGUE Forward Brannigan Is Suspended for Three Weeks and Team May Not Finish Schedule. §NLESS Referee Paul McSweeney J explains more fully the ‘‘good”’ reasons he is supposed to have had for suspending Player Brannigan of the St. Leos’ champion soccer team, at a meeting to be held at the Maryland Hotel Friday night, the many-time lead- ers of local soccerdom will quit the local league and play independent foot- ball. This statement was made this morn- ing by Manager William Klosterman, who has brought the eleven to the front for nine successive pennants. Manager Klosterman believes Brannigan was treated unfairly. In the game with the: Columbus club, when Brannigan was banished for rough play, the second time this season, Klosterman says that the Columbus club men were doing more foul work than his players, and that Brannigan was not particularly objec- tionable. That he should not only be put out of the Sunday game but suspended for two Sundays following is the bone that sticks in Klosterman’s craw. “McSweeney will have to show Aa mighty good reason for picking Bran- nigan out of the lot of offenders as a scapegoat,’’ remarked Klosterman. It is so strong with us that we are will- ing to play independently, if the matter is inforced without some good reason being back of it all.”’ Brannigan’s suspension is for three Sundays, according to Secretary Will J. Dooling. That does not mean, however, that he will not be permitted to play with his team in the Dec. 24 game with the Tacony eleven of Philadelphia, which is scheduled to call here for two games. The St. Leo players began training Tuesday evening for the scheduled game with the Tacony eleven. Most of the booters ran from Jefferson and Cass avenues to O’Fallon Park and return in an effort to better their’ staying quali- ties. ‘Ss Will Play Independent Games, ‘“‘The principal kick is that Referee Mc- Sweeney ‘sees’ too many fouls on the St. Leos,’’ said Manager Klosterman to the Post-Dispatch. ‘‘He put Brannigan out of Sunday’s game when he had no right to do so. We have rules that call for a Sunday’s suspension of a player if he swears: two Sundays if he plays rough football and three Sundays if he gets into a fight. ‘Tf we pull out of the league. we will try to play independent games. Even if we stage a contest only every two or three weeks, we will make more money than we are at pres- ent, as we are compelled to split the pro- ceeds with three other teams in our league now.”’ | Tips and Cues John Horgan of St. Louis, former three- cushion champion, again seeks that title. AHorgan has formally challenged the win- ner of the De Oro-Carney match for the championship. He believes that he is as good as ever, following his recent exhibi- tion with Carney, the Californian.

Roger has not received an answer from Presi- dent Fogel, but the chances of putting through the deal seem slim. ‘Tis, un- derstood that Bresnahan intended to use Dooin in a three-cornered trade with Brooklyn or Pittsburg.

An operation in which the bullet was removed was performed Tuesday.

At that time, he said, he had made up his mind to shoot his brother and equipped the gun with the silencer so that the noise of its discharge would not betray him. Williams’ stated reason for the shoot- ing was that he believed his brother was slowly poisoning the family. Since Joseph was married three months aea and took his wife to his mother’ home there had been trouble. William said that milk, sugar and other ar ‘cles of food frequently caused members of the family to be deathly’ sick, but they noticed that Joe never suffered iz. this way. At a family council it was a¢reed that Joseph was trying to poison the family, William said, but he denied that his mother or other members of the family knew of his intent to shoot Joa. one in a holly box—up to $3.00 values—

INSTATE ELECTION First Battle for Congress Con- ceded to Be Sweeping Vic- tory for Democracy. By Associated Press. HOENIX,. Ariz.,. Dec. 13.—The first State cafhpaign in Arizona, has resulted in a sweeping Democratic victory for senators and representatives in Con- gress and State officers, according to admissions 01 Republican leaders here, though figures are not available. The amendment to-the constitution eliminating the recall of judges neces- sary to secure statehood, passed almost unanimously. Figures on the amendment vote ceased to command attention early last evening. At an early hour this morning there appeared to be little hope for any Re- publican on the State ticket with the possible exception of Cleaveland for Secretary of State. Figures on the legislature were not available. It is indicated that Cochise County will go Democratic by a good majority, although the City of Bisbee may join the Republican ranks. Pinal County reported that Democratic State ticket elected by 4 or 50 majority. The counting of votes was very slow. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Dec. 13.—The City Park Commission has decided to al- low the use of the city parks for public neighborhood dances and the first dance will probably be held early in January under the supervision of city officials. The dances will be held in the paviliong which are used only four months. of the year. If cough syrups would cure coughs every time, it would not be neces- sary for: us to print this informa- tion, but there are so many cases of chronic bronchitis in town that have hung on for months and years, we feel that we must tell what we know about it. : It is a positive fact that. the only right way to treat a cough is to use a remedy that acts on the blood, such as Vinol, our'delicious cod liver and iron preparation without oil. This makes the blood rich and pure so it can heal and strengthen the inflamed bronchial tubes. Its taste is so pleasant that even chil- dren like it. Mrs. Olivia Parham, East Durham, N. C., says: “I useq Vinol for a cough which had lasted two years and it gave me perfect satisfaction. I am also giving it to a delicate child to strengthen her. She will not take any other medicine but Vinol is so pleasant she cries for it and it is benefiting her very much.” Remember if Vinol does not help you it costs you nothing.

T TO THE PUBLIC T.GET $1000 FOh CONFIDENCE MEN All Trio Had to Do Was to Wait for Contractor’s Return With the Money. IT SURE WAS A SURE THING Knoxville Man Thought He Was Going to Swindle Another, but Was Himself Fleeced. — Andrew C. McMurray, a building con- tractor of Knoxville, “Tenn., traveled 600 miles from St. Louis to Knoxville and back again to get $1000 which was taken away from him by confidence men at the West End Hotel Tuesday after- noon. WENT 300 MILES | The money, he was told, was to be English tourist in a sure-thing coin- matching game. McMurray, according to his statement to Police Capt. Hess, came to St. Louis 10 days ago and stopped at the Princess Hotel at Eighteenth and Chestnut streets. He had been there only a day when he met an affable stranger in the hotel lobby. Was Affable Stranger. They took walks and street car rides together. The stranger casually re- marked that he-knew the manager of the West End Hotel at Vandeventer avenue and West Belle place. *‘He’s a fine fellow. I'll take you out and introduce you to him,’’ he said to McMurray. They went to the West End Hotel, and in a sequestered corner of the lobby, not | visible from the clerk’s desk, the strang- er introduced a large fat man to Mc- Murray as the manager. There ensued a mysterious conversa- tion which McMurray could not avoid overhearing. “We can get his money easy,” said the fat man. Be “How?” -asked the other. “Well, he’s crazy about matching coins and we can skin him out of $1000.’” “I’ve got a thousand if its a sure thing,’’ said McMurray’s new-found friend. | It Was So Easy. “But we must get a third party with a thousand. It*takes three to play the game,’’ replied the fat man, McMurray’s curiosity was aroused. Hea asked what they were talking about. They seemed pvt out because he had overheard them, but finally, with seem- ing reluctance they unfolded their scheme. They Englishman, stake. The fat man expiained that it would only necessary for the two men matching with the Englishman to lay down their coins with the same side up. ‘We both turn heads every time,’’ he said. “If the Englishman also turns a head it will be a tie and we match over. Sooner or later he is sure to turn his coin the other way and we'll get his money.’”’ While they were talking a man with an English accent strolled through the lobby. ~ ‘“‘Here he comes now,” said the stran- ger, who, on the way to the hotel, had introduced himself to McMurray as ‘‘Mr. Ellison.”’ The matching game was proposed to the Englishman and he seemed disgust- ed when he was told that McMurray had only $100, . “That’s the way with you Yankees. 1ou’re all pikers, eh, what?’’ he said. This roused McMurray’s_ sporting blood. He took the next train for Knox- ville, drew $1000 from the bank and re- turned to St. Louis. Tuesday at 10 a.m. heand “Mr. Eli- son’’ went to the West End Hotel. There they again met the fat man and the Englishman. All was in readiness for the matching game when the English- man discovered that he had only $950 with him. “If you will leave your money with the manager here to show you mean business I will go down to my hotel and get the other $50,’’ he said to McMur- ray, ' “Sure,” said McMurray, handing over $1000 to the fat man. The Englishman invited McMurray to walk to the car with him. He did. When he returned to the hotel the fat man and Mr. Elli- son were gone. McMurray sat in the lobby until 3 p. m. Then he went to the desk. “Has the manager got back?” asked. “Why, he’s never been out,” said the clerk. ‘There he is over there by the telegraph desk. McMurray rubbed his eyes. The man pointed out to him was not large and fat, but small and slim—the real man- ager of the hotel, W. A. Horr. McMurray, still unwilling to believe that he had been fleeced, went back to the Princess Hotel to look for his friend. When he coulan’t find him he reported the Joss of his money to the police, were to maich coins with the the odd man to lose the be he You'll Deem It Right If DEEMS did it.

A Piano'a Pian> un! cks the gat:s of music land for every member of the famiy. It provides the playing ability which so few of us have the time or means to cultivate in the ordinary way. Even a player-piano would be a source of pleasure for a limited time. Anything is better than a home with a silent piano or with none whatsoever. But because the whole world of music is thrown open to you through a player-piano the relatively few familiar compositions are soon exhausted and you begin to explore the unknown—to play pieces which you have rarely, if ever, heard perform. When this point is reached you will realize the absolute necessity for some guide— some means for accurately indicating the ideas of the composer. The Pianola-Piano is the only on: which has such means. And it is important to know exactly what these are and how they aid without interfering with your own ideas. The Metrostyle consists of a red line on the Pianola roll and a pointer attached to the tempo lever of the Pianola action. By following the red. line with the pointer you reproduce exactly the phrasings of the composer or some great musical authority. When you become familiar with the composition you may, at will, vary the phrasing to suit your own ideas. The Metrostyle does not in the slight- est way interfere with your own ideas or wishes, but serves as an authoritative guide through the unknown paths of music land.

The one condition which the Commission re- gards the wisest, most practical and éffectual for the protection of the public from fraud and stock- jobbing is publicity. It recommends that rail- roads be compelled to supply to the Interstate Commerce Commission full information of/the details of issues; the purposes for which the proceeds are to be used and an accounting of ex- penditures. Speaking of the importance of pub- licity, the Commission says: It is the one thing upon which the Federal Government can effectively insist today; it is the fundamental thing which must serve as a basis for whatever regulation may be desirable in the future. If full publicity be given we shall also lessen the fraudulent crea- tion of debt. It is the degree of publicity rather than the stringency of the law which gives to the people any real protection. Secrecy Is required for successful financial juggling and stock-jobbing. Publicity destroys the opportunity for dishonest security issues and stock manipulations. Railroads which must ob- tain money in the market are forced to play fair when the cards are on the table. While it would be as inadvisable for the Government to guaran- tee that all railroad securities are honest is to guarantee the purity of all foods that are sold, it can prevent dishonest imposition by compelling venders to make known precisely what they aré offering for sale. No law will keep fools from folly, but publicity will give warning of the snares laid for the credu- lous. If the recommendations of the Commis- sion shall be adopted by Congress, most of #the present evils of railroad financing will be abo!- ished and the way will be prepared for further progress.

I hope the lady who witnessed the awful coruel- ty to a brick team, as described in Saturday’s paper, will never again allow such a thing to go unpunished. The Humane ‘Society’s two or three agents cannot be everywhere, but it is the duty of any,and all of us to protect a dumb, helpless creature from a fiend like this driver. This lady should have ordered the man to stop his cruelty under penalty of arrest, then phoned tc the Chief for a policeman, who would have seen to it that there was no more such treatment of the mules. Or, if it were not stopped imme- diately, have the driver arrested and prosecuted through the Humane Society, who will gladly give all the assistance they can. When we fail to do what we can to stop such barbarities we are as guilty as the perpetrator of the deed, I am sure this lady will feel far better next time if she will take the trouble to do this much:to help a poor, dumb, defenseless creature. I would also suggest that she notify the owner of the team, who undoubtedly would be grateful to her. MRS. L. ete! ated 9 Ome me ™.

LOUIS AND THE MOTOR BOAT. The Mississippi River and its tributaries’ com- pose a system of 16,000 miles of waterways, of which St. Louis is the geographical center. When it is remembered that this great network is ac- cessible to every motor-boat owner, one cannot but wonder that St. Louisans do not own as many motor boats as automobiles. The motor boat has been adapted to every con- dition. From the “flattie,’” drawing a few inches of water and able to navigate the shallowest creek, to the ocean-going “express,” capable of European voyages, motor craft range through aii sizes, all shapes and all prices. « safe harbor for motor boats would rapidly add to the St. Louis fleet.

A good way to prevent daviight burglaries is.to hang bells over the outside doors, as they are used in stores. Whether there is anyone home or not, -the burglar will with draw immediately he rings one of the bells. and if you. intercept him he will show you a sample of some fine, large Irish potatoes he is trying to sell. Window runs should be rosined once 4 week. This will make them squeak so loud when a window is opened that the burgelar will wish he had used the electric bell in the first place. An alternating hall light. which goes off and on all night. is a cood idea, though éxpensive. It gives a burglar an impression that someone is stirring within. and he will usuallx hesitate ‘long enough for the night watchman togeet him. The silver should be hidden in a large hat box placed on an overhead closet shelf. Such a box on such a shelf is much harder to han@le than a greased pig. and even tf the burglar does find it, the chances are 4 thousand to one that he will drop it getting it down and wake everyone in the house. Almost all burglars enter through a win- dow on the back porch and crawl over the kitchen sink. A good way to do is io sprinkle cayenne pepper on the drainboard of the sink. The buralar will almost cer- tainly get some of this up his nose, and if he does he would just as well have brought the baby. Upon hearing a burelar approaching a

NO FEDERAL LICENSE. From the Indianapolis News. This Federal incorporation scheme seems to us wholly inadmissible. There is even doubt whether Congress has the constitutional power to enact such a law. We do not think that the country is as yet ready for any such extension of the Federal authority. Of course there are arguments in favor of the plan, and the President puts them strongly. But they are such as would justify any and every extension of Fed- eral power if only the evil to be reme- died were grave. i. ‘ a - ‘ ¢ T, 3 ee Esteemed Friend: I thought of keeping the kitchen chimney open.

It almost seemed as if the intelligent creature knew he was coming to bring me an hour of happiness, and hastened in order to please me. In the twinkling of an eye he arrived at the iron grating. ‘Uniess it was raining, I went down to the garden, as at that hour no one ever passed this way, and there by the gate was a little time of chatting with Man- ola; and I always gave to Lucero a biscult or a gouple of lumps of sugar. You cannot conceive how well he knew, how he would turn his head from side to side, expectantly, until I stretched out my hand with the dainttes through the fron bars of the gate.

McCARDELL | had tremendous effect on the other lit- ERE’S my cigarette pictures,” said Master Izzy Slavinsky, suiting the action to the word. “Now go on and tell us about when you went to your Grand- ma’s.”’ The other children of the neighbor- hood, gathered in the Jarr dining room, passed over from their hoards of local currency cigar coupons, trading stamps and other merchandise premium-tokens —to Master Jarr to pay for like priv- ileges for themselves. “Well, you see,” said Master Jarr, “where she lives ain’t anything like here.”’ “No, ‘deed, ‘tain’t,”. said little Miss Jarr, primly, as she shook her head to signify that the marvels surpassed all belief. , Whatever the conspiracy against the goods and simplicity of their playmates was, it was evident that little Miss Jarr was a party thereto, and in its execu- tion was displaying discretion far be- yond her years. “Oh, well, if none of you ain’t mever been there,.”’ said Master Willie Jarr, “T can’t tell you nothing about it, be- cause you wouldn’t believe me. Unless you all give me five more coupons and trading stamps and cigarette pictures apiece.”’ Such is the glamor of the mysterious and the unknown, that the children who had gatHered in the Jarr’s dining room to hear the until now only hinted at wonder tales of travel paid over the extra backsheesh without a murmur. “They ain’t no policemen there,’’ be- gan Master Jarr. ‘“‘The streets is wide ‘and you can play baseball and football outdoors a]l you want to.” ‘““N every time a ‘ittle girl does to de store to buy anything for her mamma the grocery man dives her a baby doll and a baby doll carriage,’’ interposed little Emma Jarr, that the company might know she, too, had beheld the wonders of Brooklyn. Master Jarr was about to rebuke his little sister severely for her interlocu- tcry remarks, but noticing | get him to: take me there himself!” tle girls present he contented himself by saying: “Emma, you shut up and let me tell ebout it! But Mary Rangle and Gertie Siavinsky and a few other girls has got to give us five more trading stamps cr coupons because Emma told you about the doll babies and doll carriages. I was going to keep that a secret.” The little girls present showed they appreciated the favor done them by little Miss Jarr’s disclosures of. the de- lights of foreign travel from the small girl’s point of view, by gladly paying the extra assessment. “They has moving pictures in the schools to teach lessons by,’ continued Master Jarr. ‘‘The schools is all noth- ing but moving picture shows. Every- body gimme five more stamps and pic- tures and coupons.” ‘‘Lookee here!’’ cried Master Issy Sla- vinsky protestingly, “I’m paying out all them cigarette pictures I got from you, and I don’t see what I’m going to get out of this!’’ j “Oh, very well, then, Izzy Slavinsky! I won’t tell another thing just for that!”’ Indignant murmurs arose on all sides. And Miss Mary Rangle, as the Amazon of the group, seized upon the paste- board shoe box containing the treasures of Master Slavinsky, the capitalist of the juvenfle community. “Yes,’’ Master Jarr resumed, “kids go to moving picture shows to learn their lessons. And when they have les- sons to study at night the moving pic- ture man comes to the house and the children’s mother hangs up a sheet in the dining room. But I won't tell any more unless everybody gives me five more stamps and coupons apiece. “And now,” said Master Jarr, “that’s all I'm going to tell you today, but any- tody that wants to hear more can bring round their trading stamps and cou- pons tomorrow.” ‘, ain’t going to do it,’’ grumbled Master Izzy Slavinsky. “I got an un-’ cle what lives in Brownsville, and I'll

In the days following I inquired for the horse, and it struck me that he evaded a reply. Finally. last week, his servant unfortun- ately came to bring me a letter, and, as he knew that I always bestowed upon him some little present, he asked to see me. The horse coming to my thoughts, I asked him: “ ‘How is Lucero?’ “The boy assumed pression between 6a never eat again, gome trouble in a very singular ex- dness and stupidity, “He will I am thinking.’ eee ead?’ \ te | sonnet Ah, if it had been no worse than to die—poor beast!’ said he. “ “Then, what has happened?’ “Upon this the servant, like.one who fears having spoken too much, remained obstinately silent.

It was the horse which brought him to me, which I watched for, and which I loved because he came flying! I have often heard thee tell of thy great sorrow when thy horse was shot from under thee in the battle of San Pedro Abanto, and so," concluded the girl with extraordinary energy, “It seems impossible to me that this man can be. good,, and marry him I never will!’

The answer is, you gain nothing and you lose a lot. Leave the weary, dazed shopgirl out of the question if you will. Concen- trate just on YOUR side of the argu- ment. If you wait until the last week the shops are hot and crowded; it takes a very little while to acquire a _ blinding headache and burning, achy eyes. You can’t get near the counters. You reach over people’s shoulders for things only to have them snatched from your hands because, perhaps, they’re sold goods. + + + i Reena merchandise has been pulled over and handled by many before you and has become more or less shop- worn. On account of the enormous cgowds you have to wait an endless time for your change and the overworked sales- girl snaps at you when you complain. All these little things tend to irritate you. The list of gifts you have made is changed on the spot and you decide to get John or Mary or Mother the things that are easiest to ‘“‘get at’’ rather than the things they really want. Christmas shopping should be a pleas- ure. It should be a time for you to show a careful consideration of your friends’ likes and dislikes; not in the size of the expenditure, but in picking out just what they have eKkpressed a wish for at some time. But just the reverse is true. Christ- mas shopping has become a nightmare to most people.
