FORT WORTH, Tex., Dec. 19.—Homer Trout, shot by his wife at the Germania Cafe last night, died early this morn- ing at a hospital with his wife at his side weeping and praying that he might live. He never regained consciousness. Mrs, Trout became hysterical after his death and a. medical attention. A complaint charging murder was filed against the woman in the District Court and she was allowed bail of $2500, which she gave. Entering the Germania at 9 o'clock . last night, Mrs. Trout stood in the cen- ter of the room for a minute gazing placidly at the merry-makers at tho tables. No one noticed her. She soon found the table where her husband and & gay party of friends were being en- tertained.

SILENT GUNS IN TAX! WAR: SPECIAL ORDERS TO POLICE

Device Which Eliminat:s Sound of Report Sends Eullet; Into Autos—Drivers Attacked With Stones and Forced Into Col isions.

Police Chief YO6ung Tuesday issued an order to all district captains that they must suppress all lawlessness in con- nection with the taxicab chauffeurs’ strike, and must be especially active in running down the silent;gun men who are using revolvers and rifles equipped with mufflers, to intimidate men who have taken stfikers’ places. “This is a new situation and hard.- to cope with,” said the Chief to a Post- Dispatch reporter. ‘The silent gun is the deadliest of weapons. It has never before been used in a. strike in St. Louis. ‘Ijnder the new deadly a person who carries a gun can be ar- rested whether ne carries it-openly or concealed. I will see thai this law is enforced to the letter.” Chief Young's order followed the cli- max of strike violence Monday night when a Columbia taxicab chauffeur was struck by a brick, causing him to lose control of his machine and crash. into two trolley cars at Kigkteenth and Chestnut streets. One of the street cars was knocked from the track and crashed into the other, injuring 14 per- weapon law, sons. Silencers Are Used, In the last week the use of revolvers or rifles equipped with patent silencers and charged with smokeless powder has been’ reported to the police. Chauffeurs would hear the sound of breaking glas: behind them and on examining their cars would find that bullets had been fired through the windows. In some cases the bullet went through one win- dow and out another. A big black touring car with no license tag is believed to have been used by some of the silent-gun men. Several chauffeurs who have been attacked and shot at have described this car. Louls Topovitz of 1242 South Broad- way, a machinist; Mike Young of 1215 Merchant street, a bartender and John Markovitz of Kirkwood, a chauffeur, were arrested at Broadway and Papin street at 2:30 a. m. Tuesday on sus- picion that they. were taking part in the strike demonstrations. They were in a touring car driven by Markovitz, who said the machine belonged to his em- ployer, Anderson Kratz of Kirkwood. They denied that they were taking part in the strike and no weapons were found on them. They are held pending investigation. Silencerg.Are Used. Michael O’Brien, a chauffeur for the Columbia Taxicab Co., is in a serious condition at the city hospital as the re- sult of injuries received at 12:30 a. m. Tuesday at Twentieth and Pine streets when he was bombarded with rocks and bricks. His skull is believed to be frac- tured. O’Brien is the chauffeur who, several nights ago, reported to the police that while he was driving in the West End another machine overtook him and a man on the front seat of the pursuing car first threw a brick at him and then fired through the window of his car with. a silent gun. Bullet Through Window. Four men in a black touring car with- out a license tag drove up to the Amer- ican Hotel at 8 p. m., Monday. An instant later there was a crash of glass. Though no report was heard a bullet had broker the window of a Co- lumbia taxicab, of which John Wheelér was chauffeur.

of John Lee, and death furnace The sudden choreman and tender, the filing of his will, have revealed the fact that in a decade of work for residents of Westminster place, be- tween Whittier street and Newstead avenue, he saved nearly $1800. By the terms of the will, this money will go to the Memorial Home, on South Grand avenue an institution for the aged. Some of those in whose basements Lee worked daily were surprised to learn that he had left an estate, but were not so much surprised by his @ »gsitlon of it. His kindly spirit and olent in- clinations were familiar t chem, and made him so much liked that wellknown persons attended his funeral. Lee had beap sent to the home on errands by one of his employers, Mrs. John H. Duncan, who was interested in the institution. He became con- vinced that it was a worthy charity, and two weeks ago he went to Dr. Duncan and told him tha} he wished to leave his savings to the institution. A will was then drawn up. Lee fell dead on the street 10 days later. At his funeral, held Sunday after- in an undertaking parlor, Dr. and Mrs. Dunean, Dr. and Mrs, L. H. Behrens, G. L.

Covyr ht, 1911, by Press Publishin Co. is (New York World.) hstoing af ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 19.—Govern- ment circles here were taken complete- ly by surprise by the sudden and definite action of President Taft,in giving notice of abrogation of the treaty of 1832. There is manifest anger among the min- isters at what they considered the triisque proceedings at Washington, cul- minating and expressed in the Sulzer resolution declaring that Russia had “yiblated the treaty of 1832." While they will not talk for publica- m, they. maintain vigorously and un- hegitatingly that Russia would never * yield to such an attitude on the part of the United States.

In a cablegram sent from London for publication in St. Louis newspapers, Jordan W. Lambert, millionaire man- ager of the Lambert Pharmacal Co., takes on himself all the blame for his recent: separation -from his wife, Mrs. Helen Smith Lambert. Lambert especially denies the report that Will Hannegan; his son’s nurse, and the possessor of peculiar psychic gifts, had anything to do with the estrangement. Hannegan is not now in the*family’s employ. The cablegram is as follows: “Statements in St. Louis papers Dec. 1 and 2 are misleading and are unjustly critical of Mrs. Lambert. We were mutually content to retain Mr. Hanne- gan until oldest son entered school. Our understanding to reside apart for the present was not occasioned by any act of Hannegan, nor by disagreement be- tween us regarding any oiher person. All cause is chargeable to myself. My brothers in no way concerned, except to see that Mrs. Lambert's portion of my interests with them is duly forth- coming to her.’’ FACE SLAPPED; JEWEL LOST ee

JEFFERSON CITY, Dec. 19.—The suit of the Morey Engineering and Construc- tuon Co, against the artificial ice rink and others was today reopened and transferred to the Supreme Court in banc for a rehearing. ; Judge Kennish, in an opinion, con- cnrred in by Judges Ferriss and Brown, recently he?d that special tax bills in St. Louls do not constitute, under the sanguage of its charter, a prior lien upon property against which they are levied. . This uprooted the entire scheme of street construction and other improve- ments of that character in St. Louis and rendered uncertain the colletcion of special tax claims. Deeds of trust and other encumbrances took precedence over the special tax lien under the deci- sion. . The City Counsellor of St. Louis urged a reopening of the case and the mem- bers of Division No. 2 transferred it to court in banc. If Judge Kennish is sustajned there St. Louis will have to amend her char- ter. ‘ “# fh —— : s “A nA > fb EKKO ABEI AI ESSE, + (ee i nn = * . é —— ‘ ——— a beet oe ~r eho *. - = a > pet Tred eee ie Ie a hy WIA WEY yw - aS 4. == Get an extra pair of Trousers for your Suit.

WESTINGHOUSE CO.’S Plain and Striped Silks, ACTION NOT RESISTED Financiers Say George Gould Overestimated His Strength When He Sought to Control Ocean-to-Ocean Railway. The Wabash Rallroad wili pass into the hands of F'. A, Delano, E. B. Pryor and W. K. Bixby as recelvers as soon as the three file their bonds of $300,000 each in the United States District Court. Delano is president and Pryor vice- presidert of the Wabash. Bixby. a St. Louls capitalist, has never engaged ac- tively in railroad management,..though he is a director of the Frisco system. Judge Adams, who appointed the re- celvers late Monday afternoon, said he chose Bixby because he desired one who not a@ railroad man, but one who will command confidence. The contributing, if not the direct cause of the receivership, was the fight the Wabash made to get into Pittsburg Several years ago. The Wabash bur- dened itself with the purchase of the Wheeling & Lake Erie system in its Pittsburg fight, and assumed the obli- gations of that road, among which were. $9,807,968 in notes due in August 1212. There is $333,000 in interest due on these notes Feb. 1. The taking over of the Wheeling & Lake Erie at a time when the Wa- bash’s finances were already overtaxed is said to have involved the company in difficulties which it was unable to overcome, and finally led to the insti- tution of the receivership suit. Application Not Resisted. The application for the receivership was made by the Westinghouse Air Brake Co. of Pittsburg, on a claim of $18,000. It was not resisted by the Re- adjustment Committee, appointed two weeks ago to make over the finances of the Wabash system. The committee’s acquiescence gave the entire action the appearance of a friendly proceeding, and this impression was strengthened by the choice of Delano and Pryor. The Readjustment Committee, it was stated in New York Monday*night, fore- saw that, even if the Westinghouse claim were met, other creditors would bring receivership suits, and that the application for a receivership could not be postponed, at the latest, beyond Jan. 2, when the sei.i-annual interest on the road's $40,000,000 bond issue will be due, amounting to $800,000. Interest Default Expected. In the estinghouse company’s peti- tion, it was alleged that the road was insolvent, and that its unpaid vouchers aggregated more than $1,800,000. It was also stated that the company would default on its bonded obligations two weeks hence. ( A committee representing the bond- wwders v et in New York Monday night, uecording to dispatches, and announced that Kuhn, Loeb & Co. would co-operate | }with ¢he committee in measures for the protection of the bondholders’ interests. The Equitable Trust Co. of New York was named as depository for the bonds. FIGHT FOR OCEAN TO OCEAN ROAD The troubles of the Wabash Railroad date back to the half-baked reorganiza- tion of the property in 1889, under Jay Gould. But the company was in‘a fair way to outgrow the heavy fixed charges remaining after that readjustment, when George J. Gould conceived his idea of creating the first one-management ocean-to-ocean railway system. From the time of the last receiver- ship up to 1905, when the real work of financing the new construction began, eroquet Rubbers in all at 29ec a pair. (Main Floor—

reorganization or receivership Wabash’s gross earnings had increased 113 per cent, while its total fixed charges had increased only 37 per cent. From 1905 to the end of last year gross earnings increased only 21 per cent, while fixed charged increased 66 per cent. Between 1897 and 185 fixed ¢harges absorbed 10 per cent of gross earnings; between 1906 and 1911 fixed charges ab- sorbed 62 per cent of earnings. And the net resuft to the Wabash was re- ceivership for all the new Eastern con- nections with the parent company’s re- sources strained to the breaking point. Financiers say Gould overestimated his own strength when he started out to connect the Missouri Pacific, the Den- ver & Rio Grande and the Wabash with the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific sea- board. Up to that time no Eastern road had attempted to go west of the Mis- sissipp! River, and the Western roads were content to stay in their own terri- tory. Subsequent events preved that Goula made a serious mistake;in throwing down the gauntlet as he did to Harri- man in the West and to the powerful Pennsylvania in the East. The Pennsylvania, with its strong hold on the Pittsburg district, started trouble for Gould by making the Wa- bash-Pittsburg Terminal project a costly tone; but it was Harriman who put on the finishing touches in the East, as well as the West. Just where Gould stands today in the Wabash is uncertain, for the only sat- isfaction that the Readjustment Com- when the proper time’ came he would furnish a list of: the securities he cor- trolled with a definite statement as to whether or not he would agree to the posed, 1 ee tte A, ans.

VOTING MACHINE. VOTER CAN'T CHEAT OFFERED ST. LOUIS Election Commissioners and Sev- eral Politicians Experiment With New Device. COST WOULD BE _ $302,000 Chicago Recently Ordered One Thousand and New York Uses Them. Election Commissioners Kortjohn and Spencer and several] politicians spent the greater part of Tuesday experimenting with a voting machine designed to make election frauds impossible. The manu- facturers of the voting machine set one up in the Election Commissioners’ office and invited the commissioners and poli- ticians to see if they could beat it. Horace G. Beedle, former secretary of || the Election Board, and now private sec- retary to Mayor Kreismann, after vot- ing several times, expressed the opinion that the use of the machine would ren- der the election Indian a thing of the rast in St. Louis. The machine is operated by a series of l-vers which enable a voter to cast a ballot and record it for each man on a ticket. It is impossible for him to vote more than once for any candidate or set of candidates, and his vote is re- corded and counted by the machine be- fore he leaves it. When the last ballot is cast a slip is turned out, showing how many ballots have been cast for each candidate. The cost of the machine is $750. As one would be required for each of the 403 precincts of the city, the cost of installing a complete outfit for St. Louis would be $302,000. The company offers to put in the machine on the install- ment plan, letting the city pay for them out of the annual savings. The use of the machines would render more than three judges and clerks unnecessary. The voting machines are in use throughout the Stateiof New York, with the exception of New York City. Chi- cago recently ordered 1000 machines. Be- fore they could be adopted in St. Louis, a state constitutional amendment would be necessary. NO IMMEDIATE CHANCE OF GENERAL STRIKE Carmen of Harriman Lines Do Not Anticipate Aid at Present Time. | James W. Kline, J. A. Franklin and PF. J. Conlan, presidents of the black- smiths’, boller makers’ and machinists’ international] unions, have returned to Chicago after spending a day in St. Louis considering the strike situation in the shops of the Harriman lines and the M., K. & T. The three conferred with Assistant General Manager Dur- kam of the latter road. There is no immediate prospect, ao- cording to the union leaders, of the ex- tension of the shop men’s strike. The M., K. & T. shop employes have been cut since September, and most of their places have been filled.

On these holiday afternoons this busy stretch of downtown street is crowded{ with actors and actresses who are a yng way from home and who have lit- le cause for Christmas cheer. More yan 200 idle Thespians are in St. Louis vaiting for something to turn up. Theater magnates have figured that in the week before Christmas the minds if the people are so occupied with other hings that they have no time or money ‘o spend on the theater. Therefore, nest contracts with actors provide that they shall be idle-on half pay the week sefore Christmas. Among the theatrical troupes now idle in St. Loufi® are the Aborn Opera Com- pany, which closed here last week; the Every Woman company, which opens it the Shubert next Monday; Mrs. Les- ie Carter’s company, which opens at the Garrick next week; the Old Home- tead company, which goes to Chicago ext week, and the Madame Sherry ompany, which recently played a one- ight stand in Belleville. —— a

Immediately after that the second in- quést was begun in the office of the justice of the peace in High Ridge. Prosecutor Miller had subpenaed be- tween 25 and 30 persons of Sugar Creek Valley, his intention being to sift out the truth in a lot of neighborhod gos- syp about the Hunnings. Among the witnesses summoned was Hunning, wife of the murdered man, who says she was alone with him at their home when the assassins came, and Joseph Seidel. Seldel is the young man arrested several days ago and re- leased after a sharp interrogation. Gos- sip had connected him with the Hun- ning family affairs. Mrs. Hunning was in Hillsboro, the county seat, Monday afternoon, arrang- ing to take out letters of administration upon her husband's estate. She refused tc discuss the murder. A Rigid Examination. It became apparent early Tuesday that the sgcond inquest was to entail a tigid examination of all persons know- ing or pretending to know anything about the affairs of the Hunnings. A court stenographer was procured from De Soto to make a record of the evi- dence. } Coroner Hensley, Proseguting Attor- ney Miller. and Sheriff . Bechler left Hillsboro at 8 o'clock to drive to the High Ridge Cemetery, where the body of‘Hunning lies buried. From De Soto they had procured a court atenogra- pher. They announced they would not return to the county seat until they had sifted the matter to the bottom. Prosecutor’ Miller is known to .have a definite theory as to the identity of the to indicate to whom his suspicion points, It is his intention to call everybody in Sugar Creek Valley near the Hunning farm before the Coroner and try to verify or disprove many of the rumors that have been afloat since the day aft- er Hunning wes struck down by a shot from the dark as he stood at his tele- phone. The party expected to reach High Ridge about 1:30 o’clock in the after- noon. An undertaker was to be in readi- ness and the exhumation was to be done without delay. The Coroner had arranged to impanel a new jury and to go into the whole matter again from the beginning. WOODWARD WILL IS FILED Estate of Printer Divided Be- tween His Son and Widow.

Golden Rule, has made itself within 18 years the leading manufacturer and dis- tributor of shoes in the world. It has. Than $1,000,000 a year. The policy which has made this shoe company one of the greatest industrial concerns of St. Louis was that of put- ting honest leather, instead of substi- tutes for leather, in their shoes. The company has gone on the theory that the purchaser of shoes was entitled to a square deal from the manufacturer; in other words that he should get exactly ‘what he thought he was buying. The popular agitation for pure food has created a demand for purity in shoes, woolen goods, beverages and oth- er articles of war. The Star Brand shoe people were quick to recognize the importance of purity of materials in the’ line. They knew that good shoes could be made only from good materials, and the better the materials the better the shoe, and consequently the better value to the consumer. For the purpose of promoting purity in shoes the company was instrumental in having introduced in Congress, and in the Missouri and other legislatures, a bijl requiring shoe manufactyrers to use pure leather in their shoes, or to \go stamp shoes in which substitutes gre used that the purchaser cannot be | @eceived. ‘

f SOAP, THE OPPRESSOR. From Everybody’s Magazine. The folks at my house half the time are thinkin’ about dirt; It sort of gives ’em horrors, an’ they act as if it hurt. The sight of just a little makes ’em dat: fy as can be— They’re always washin’ half the time it’s me. It ain’t because I wet my feet that gives me colds an’ such; ’Tain’t runnin’ round that keeps me thin —it’s cause I’m washed so much. — It does no good to tell ’em, they’re so stubburn. .But I hope That some day they’ll discover what de- ceitful stuff is soap. sumthin’, an’ I tell you, very often when my hands was clean and white I’ve gone along to wash ’em, did no good to fight; When I’ve stuck ’em in the basin it was plain enough to see ‘cause it as could be. If folks would give me half a chance, with soap that didn’t cheat, I guess they’d be surprised to find I’m nachurally neat. I'd take on flesh and leave off havin’ colds an’ such, I know— An’ no one could complain about the parts of me that show. —BURGESS JOHNSON.

THAT STEEL INQUIRY. From the Springfield (Mass.)

The Democratic House may yet sustain Mr. Stanley and authorize the-renewal of the Congres- sional inquiry, notwithstanding the Gov. ernment’s action, in order that the peo- ple may have the benefit of all possible information concerning a certain cele- brated episode, about which the Presi- dent and the ex-president are disagreed Lefore the presidential election.

Dillon Wallace, who has been touring in the West, is very much impressed by the brand of Christianity practiced by the Moki Indians of Arisona. The Moki ostracize liars.

Mr. Wallace thinks the Moki ought to send missionaries among U3, and Just a Minute pledges its influence, if any, to that admirable end. What can we do? —_-—-——o DECEMBER 19.

The wedding march struck up, the bridesmaidsse filed in, the groom and his best man appeared from a side ; door, the bride entered on the arm of her father—but still no officiating min- ister stepped forward. The bridal rty formed beneath a great floral bell, in front of a stand which was to serve as an altar. But where on earth was the clergy- man’? § The guests leaned forward in breath- less excitement, peering through the palms that surrounded and screened the space behind the stand. The bride and groom stood facing it. One hand of the best man fumbled for a moment among the flowers it supported. Instantly a low buzzing filled the room followed by the sound of a strong, clear voice, be- ginning the service: “Dearly beloved, we are gathered to- gether here in the sight of God and in ths, face of this company, to join to- wether this man and this ‘woman in holy matrimony’’—-- The startled guests could not restrain their wonder nor suppress the excited whispete that ran around the great parlor: “It’s surely Richard Archibald’s voice!’’ “T thought he was in Europe!” “Who ie it?’’ “Where is he?’’ “Is it a ghost?’ asked a frightened child. It certainly did convey a peculiar sensation to hear the familiar voice, corning from nowhere, go solemnly on with the service till it reached: “Those whom God hath fol to- gether let no man put asunder—put as- under--put asunder”’—— : “It's a phonograph!” “A phonograph!’ These words and a titter circled: the room. The bride became crimson. The groom turned whitee One of the brides- maids quietly fainted, and while she was being borne away an usher snatched from the embowered stand the instru- ment that still reiterated those ominous words, and rushed it into the hall, shak- ing it as he went. The best man faced the tumultuous guestg and nervously asked the Rev. Mr. erce to step forward. The rector hesitated, but only a moment. Then he took up the ritual where the mechanical minister had turned it into a mockery, and went on: “Forasmuch as Percy and Katharine have given and pledged their troth each to the other, and have declared the same by giving and receiving a ring and by joining hands, I pronounce that they are man and wife.’ A sigh of relief at the removal of the tension in such a satisfactory manner came from every woman present. But it was drowned in the commotion which followed the sudden return of the in- genious usher, flushed with success, but wholly oblivious to what had taken place in his absence, when he replaced the phonograph on the stand and the ma- chine, in louder and clearer tones than before, hurtled after the retreatin bridal party an impressive supplemen tary blessing. in the voice of the broth- er of the bride

"es,"’ Dr, Greese went on, “it is pea- butter. After the disastrous results yur temperance lectures we decided It's peanut butter.” cried Mrs. Jarr’s “Here the psychology of advertis- ing came into play,” interposed Prof. Slufk. “I knew that corn salve as sidewalk merchandise was no novelty, but a corn salve that could be used as a shoe polish would incite interest and wonderment and at the same time preserve the unities. People whu had no corns needed their shoes shined. Pecple who have corns need their shoes shined. A little peanut butter on a rag will give a gloss to a more or less recently shimed shoe. I dem- onstrated this to the awe of all be. holders. When they saw I Save a gloss to their shoes, how could they doubt that it would remove corns?” ” “Well, I thould think,” said Mr. Jarr, “that you could have intensified the psychology of advertising if you had spread some of the peanut but- ter on bread and claimed that your corn salve was palatable and edible.” Both Dr. Greese and Prof. Slurk shook their heads. “That would have never done,” said Dr, Greese, “The first reason being that they would have detected it was peanut butter, but the greater and far more important {#8 that we must never violate the ethics of good taste!” ® “Can the ethics of good taste be violated in selling corn salve?” asked the astounded Mr. Jarr, “Only too easily,” said Prof. Slurk. “In vending any article of a confi- dential nature the ‘ethics of true re- finement must be carefully observed.” “Yes,” said Dr. Greese, “one may sell an automobile or a piano and be jocose, but stockings must be sold as ‘hosiery,’ and the seller must care- fully eschew all jocosity.” ”" ~~ Traveling Man's Tale. I HAD a strange experience with an intoxicated man in a telegraph of. fice down State the other day,” says a traveling man. “Was in a hurry to send a message myself, but this fellow was leaning against the re. celver’s window as if he was camped there for the night.

Done for the Post-Dispatch | By ELEANOR SCHORER.

THE BRAVE HUNTERS, HIS, little children, is a story of the adventure of two little boys in a Strange Land. “Quick, Bobbie! There goes a big lion!” called Johnnie. “Awh! You just missed him. Sh! don’t you care! Here comes a herd of elephants! Don’t you hear them crashing through the jungle?” “Sure,”’ answered Bobbie. are! Get behind that bush! Don’t be slow! Ready! Fire!” Each lad shot “Here they Hurry! once, and the whole herd of 15 elephants dropped dead on the spot! Proud as peacocks, Bobbie and John- nie walked up to the 15 enormous beasts, which lay quite still about @ hundred feet away. “Well,” said Bobbie, throwing out his chest. “‘when once we take these back to New York we will be rich. AW- FULLY rich!” And they praised themselves for their good shooting. In the midst of this they heard a loud snort, and, upon turn- ing, saw two gigantic rhinoceroses head- ing their way. : Bobbie and Johnnie took aim and fired. But, alas! the rhinoceroses’ skin was too thick and the bullets glanced off! The first thing the boys thought of was to run. And they certainly DID run; with the rhirs e. them—lickety split! Oh! How frightened were Johnnie and Bobbie! Even though they ran with all their might, the rhinos were gaining

I'd like to live in this county, for I'm very fond of roasting ears. If I lived in Nodaway County I wouldn't éat a thing but corn. At the hotel down here in Maryville today I ordered three ears of corn. I ate them and they were so good I ordered three more, and when I had eaten ‘that I started on three more.

And the hot breath of the first beast fell upon their cheeks! When, suddenly—they awoke! The two brothers sat up in bed and looked in wonder at each other. Then, realizing that they had been wandering in dreamland, they both laughed aloud and Bobble said: “I guess we ate too many animal crackers just before the Sand Man came to visit us last night. Don you think so, Johnnie?” a

Reason for Suspicion. N a country police court recently a man was charged with shooting a umber of pigeons, the property of a irmer. In giving the evidence the farmer was so careful that he even seemed nervous, and the solicitor for the de- fense endeavored to frighten him. “Now,” he remarked, “are you pre- pared to swear on oath that this man shot your pigeons?” “| didn’t eay he did shoot them,” was the carefully worded reply. “I said I suspected him o’ doing it;”’ “Ah, now we're coming to it. What made you suspect that man?” “Well, firstly, I caught him on my land wi’ a gun. Secondly, I heerd a gun go off and saw some pigeons i his pocket—and I doen't hardly think a] W. L.

Beone Or. against Ethel Edwards Boone was given a special setting for Dec. 81 by Judge Wurdeman of the St Louis Coun- ty Ciréuit Court Monday. A general de- nial to all the charges made in the pe- tition, filed on Nov. 27 by C. Porter Johnson, Boone’s attorney, was made in an answer filed Tuesday by Mrs. Boone’s attorney.

~ Tells Consumptives How He Got Well Tuberculosis is said to be curable by simply living in the open air and taking an abundance of fresh eggs and milk. Undoubtedly, some persons are benefited in this way: but the appropriate remedy for Consumption its. Eckman’'s Alterative. Do all you possibly can to add to strength and increase weight, eat wholesome, nourishing food. and breathe the cleanest and purest air—then. to the sensible things of right living. add the tonic and curative effects of Eckman's Alterative. Read what it did in this case: 609 West Street, Wilmington, Del. “Gentlemen: In January, 1908, I was taken with hemorrhages of the lungs. My physician, one of the leading prac- titioners, said that it was lung trouble. I took eggs and milk in quantities, but I cot ver, weak, and I kept on working in the store. The doctors said i would not gain in weight as long as I stayed in the store. but I kept on working and prayed each day that I might get well. I believe my prayers were answered, for Mr. C,. A. Lippincott, my enrployer (Lip- pincott & Co., Department Store, 306 to 214 Market street. Wilmington, Del.), had learned of a remedy called Eckman’s Al- terative that had done great good, and upon his recommendation I began taking it at once, was about June, 1908, I continued faithfully, usin no other remedy. and finally noticed the sperms the lungs, which appeared to chunks of blood coming up no trouble with my tungs. lieve Eckman’s Alterative saved my life. I sent my spittle later to the State Board of Health to be examined for tuberculosis bacil i, and none were found. “My mother died from Sencumption when I was about 2 years old “I make this statement so ‘that other may learn of the wonderful merits o Eckman’s Alterative. ee regard my recov- ery as being miracu (Signed Atida "iy TAS.

HEDGES EAGER T0 SIGN ASSISTANT FOR BOB WALLACE Expert, to Officiate in Dual Role of Scout and Coach of Young Players, Sought. SCOT IS SURE OF HIS. JOB Conditions Are Different From a Year Ago When Manager Wasn’t Certain of Position. By C. F. LLOYD. Owner Hedges of the Browns is seek- ing a scout to dig up young talent from the minors for the St. Louis Americans next season. If possible, this same scout is to be an assistant manager to Roder- ick J. Wallace and serve in the same way that William (‘‘Kid”’) Gleason js to ald Manager James John Callahan of the Chicago White Sox next spring. While Gleason is to serve as tutor of yeung. players and to work on the coaching lines during the 1912 season for the immaculate-hosed players of Chicago, Mr. Hedges has in mind a man who can do the double duty of coaching his juveniles and after the geason begins to scour the bushes for Ty Cobbs, Hans Wagners and Napoleon Lajolies. Accerding to the owner of the Browns, he is negotiating with such a baseball man. With the resignation of Fred Leake from the Browns’ employ Mr. Hedges needs a finder of young talent and is éager to line up a man who will not only aid in building up the Browns of 1913, 1914 and future years, but a person who can also help Manager Wal- lace next March and april in choosing the members for the 1912 aggregation. Wallace Sure of Job. Another matter which has to be taken into consideration in the management of the Browns in 1912 is the fact that Bob Wallace knows that he has his job cinched. During the 1911 training season in Hot Springs, with Fred Lake hover- ing around, the Little Scot was in a tickish position. It had been hinted in some circles that Wallace was only temporarily in charge and that Lake would assume command as soon as Wallace showed his inabil- ity to handle the team or at the com- muncement of the 1912 season at least. However, Mr. Hedges has come out with the announcement that he is strong for Wallace. He says that Bob is entitled to another season at least as the lieutenant of his field forces, and if he demonstrates next season that he is a real, regular manager, he probably can have the job for all time. Why Lake Was Released. But with Wallace certain of his job and Lake no longer connected with the club. {t is almost a certainty that Wallace will have more confidence in his own ability than he had before. It is not the most pleas. ant thing in the world to feel that some- one is hanging around. waiting to take hold of your job. such as was the case this your. Hedges rewards Fred Lake as a great judge of young baliplayers. But Lake reai- ly wasn’t willing to continue on the job as scout for the local American League max- nate. He disliked the idea of touring the remote parts of the country -for six months at a time without being able to visit his family—and Fred has a large one—occa-. sionally. For that reason Lake chose to take up the management of some club, even though it was a minor league aggregation, rather than again hit the Oshkoshes and Kalama- zoos, looking for. young stars.. Makes Another Good Deal. Bill Bailey proved such a disappointment during his several years’ connection with the local team that it is doubtful if he would prove popular even if he came up and won .750 of his games again. Sut if Infielder Pratt, who hails from the Mont- gomery (Southern League) club, proves & find, it. will be thanks to Bill Baliey. Slim Willyam was turned over to the Montgomery club last spring by Owner Hedges. In return it was agreed that Hedges was to receive the pick of the Mont, gomery club at the end of the season. As Pratt proved the sensation of all the minor leagues, of course Hedges chose that indl- vidual. As this arrangement proved successful, or rather as jt seems that it will be successful, Mr. Hedges has again entered into a dval with the Montgomery club. He has agreed to turn over three ew@pids Brownies, for which he will receive the pick of the South- ern club at the wind-up of the 1912 cam- paign. He hasn't decided what irio wil! go South, but three members of the Browns are sure to land in Montgomery next spring. FRED CLARKE BETS HE’LL PLAY NO MORE CHICAGO, Dec. 19.—Fred Clarke, man- ager of the Pittsburg Pirates, was in Chitago long enough yesterday to wager 19 suits of clothes that he will not par- ticipate in a single baseball game as a player next season. ClarKe declares that this means that he will not step to the plate even as a “pinch hitter.” He called on President Murphy of the Chicago Cubs and related to him the fact that he had bet 18 suits. The West Side magnate suggested that Clarke would loose all the clothes, whereupon

‘Murphy was the nineteenth ‘‘victim.” Clarke, who was on his way to Win- field, Kan. talked with Manager “Hank” O'Day of the Cincinnati club. Both denied that they had discussed Aimeups of players on their respective clubs.

Chief Young Will Be Satisfied if Contests. Follow Mozart Club’s Rules. Tonight's bout at the Coliseum will be watched with interest by other local orzan- izations with established reputations. This is especially true of the South Broadway Athletic Club and the Irish-American Ath- letic Club, both of which have been fig- uring on entering the boxing field, Should Chief Young’s men. stationed at the ringside and about the Coliseum build- ing. see nothing wrong with the affair. the other clubs will age contests in the fu- ture under the same condition as safe- guard the St. Louis Athletic Club’s shows. Chief Young, Tuesday morning. stated that he would not interfere with the con- tests *if they were handled as were the earlier bouts held under the auspices of the Mozart Club. “I will not stand for any brutality. how- ver. The bouts must be exhibitions only. Members only can be admitted and no tick- ets must be sold. My men will be at the ringside, and at the doors of the club to see that all the requirements are “followed.’ If the bouts prove satisfactory the South Broadway Athletic Club will stage a show Saturday night. Three bouts have been arranged, as follows: George Block vs. Willie Grupp. John Kilrain vs. William Senf. W. Madigan vs. Young Attell. The Irish-American club is planning a bout between Grupp and Guy Buckles. Grupp is also seeking a bout:with Clarence Ferns. the husky Oklahoma welterweight. who put out ‘‘Knockout’’ Browh at Kansas City last week. If the bout’ cannot be staged here the men will perform before a Kansas City club, a _ | Tips and Cues

HALFBACK aT WIL NOT BE IN. CT. LFOS’ LINEUP Champions Will Oppose Tacony Eleven With Duke Sheahan Also Among the Missing.

} Bulletin No. 1250: . Soccer Champions Will Quit League ISPLEASED by the recent [) turn of events in the Ath- letic Park Soccer League, Manager William J. Kiosterman of the champion St. Leos says his team will play independent foot- ball next season. According to Klosterman, he will attend the league meeting Tues- Gay evening, but after that he plans to remain away from the gatherings. He says he will per- mit the St. Leos to complete the season’s schedule, but after that they will perform as a free lance aggregation.

With two of the best players out of the line-up, the prospects for a St. Leo victory over the Tacony soccer team of Philadelphia at Athletic Park next Sun- day do not appear very bright. Be- cause of recent illness, {t is no cer- tainty that Goalkeeper Duke Sheahan will appear, while Johnny Miller, one of the champions’ halfbacks, is out of the pastime with a bruised toe and ‘badly swollen ankle. Sheahan has missed the last three games played by the St. Leos. Miller was absent from Sunday’s line-up and Tuesday was limping about, with little prospect of being in such condition that ne can get in the going against the Quuaker City eleven. The absence of this pair from the line- up is a blow to the local men and a defeat or a poor showing in the com- ing contest may be attributed to the fact that Manager Klosterman will not be able to present his strongest aggre- gation. Just what action, if any, is to be taken against the members of the St. Leos and In- nisfails, who engaged in the near free-for- all fight at Athletic Park Sunday,- will be de termined at a meeting of officials of the St. Louis Soccer League, Tuesday night. It seems that the guilty performers should be punished if soccer is to continue as a pop- ular sport. Because they are in second place in the League race, the Inmnisfails had the privi- lege of playing the Tacony eleven Christ- mas day. but Manager Willie Foley chose tue Dee. 31 game with the Shelburn (Ind.) eleven, That means that the holiday schedule is like this: Dec. 24. St. Leos vs. Tacony: Dec. 25, Irish-Americans vse. Tacony: Dec. 31, Innisfails vs. Shelburn: Jan. 1, Columbus Club vs. Shelburn. The Amateur League breaks in the spot- light because of the withdrawal of the St. Roses from that organization. The charge !s that the team has been treated unfairly. According to Manager Lavin, the §t. Roses were scheduled to play the final game of the double-header on the college campus Sunday with the C. B. C. eleven. Instead they. were compelled to go on In the curtain raiser with an incomplete lineup. The result was a 1-1 draw. and when the league officials refused to throw out the game, Lavin withdrew his eleven: Any time Tom Cahill gives Billy Kulos- terman, credit for something, it must be so. Tom and Bill got along as well as two gtrange bulldoxs before ‘Bullets’ went to that dear Newark. All kinds of inducements were offered the managements of Sportsman’s and League parks for the use of the big League bal! yards Sunday and Monday to stage the games against the Tacony eleven, but Pres- idents Hedges and Steininger said nay. For that reason the shows will go on at Ath- letic Park. --— +--@-—- ——— SANTA CLAUS BRINGS JENNINGS A DAUGHTER SCRANTON, Pa..

Dixon? S Salt } Water Punch May Help Fighting Tar Batter Way to a Title y

Admiral Evans Saw Lad Who Boxes Germain at Colli- seum Here Tonight Win His First Championship, That of the United States Navy. By W. J. O’CONNOR. N a sawdust ‘ring, unprotected from | Cuba's tropical sun,“ two rugged young tars swapped blows for the bantamweight championship of the North Atlantic Squadron. In the twen- tieth round, Bobby Behan of the cruiser Maryland took the count. His vanquish- er danced around with such agility that Rear Admiral (Fighting Bob) Evans, arose to remark: ‘Who's that fighting tar?’ ‘That's Tommy Dixon of the Taco- ma,’ answered a proud seaman. That was four years ago and Tommy Dixon was @ kid of 19 summers. In three years he had fought his way to the top of the bantamwelight division in America’s great navy. Today Dixon is rocketing to the top of the featherweight class of the .world, working up to a bout with Abe Attell, undisputed cham- pion. His bout here tonight with Chalk- ey Germain, at the Coliseum, is a mere exercise exhibit, his manager says. Dixon still is known as the ‘Fighting Tar.’* Admiral Evans bestowed the fistic label which has stuck to the sturdy little graduate of the navy ring. Tommy. Dixon isn’t a fighter by choice. Rather by accident. When he was 16 years old he quit the public schools of Holyoke, Mass., his home, to enlist in the navy. The padded mitts are part of navy life. Tommy adopted them. SALT WATER PUNCH A REAL SLEEP WALLOP | N three years he developed a “salt water punch.”” Tommy was feared because of the “kick”’’ he possessed in each hand. He won all his fights via the K..O. He rocked: Behan to sleep in the twentieth round for the title. Then he came ashore and in his first 18 bouts administered sleeping potions to his opponents. However the life of 9 land-lubber didn’t agree with Dixon. His ‘“‘salt water punch’’ dwindled into a plain, fresh water caress. Tommy feared he was losing his hold; but sud- denly he began to regain his “kick.” When he enters the ring tonight Tommy expects to have all his old prowess.. He says he can hit as hard as ever—as hard as he did when he tossed about on the high seas. Dixon worked out at the Business Men’s Gymnasium, Monday afternoon. He’s clever, Likewise wicked. After he had beaten a tattoo on Pierce Matthews’ proboscis, the wise guys who fooked on remarked that Tommy resembled Terry McGovern, esteemed by some the greatest piece of fighting ma- chinery the world has ever known. Maybe he does and mavbe he doesn’t. but certainly Tommy is a rare plece of scenery. He would make an excellent setting for some of the astage naval war episodes. He looks like a pirate and a painted picture. On Tommy’s right knee is @ dagger. six inches long. The same, weapon adorns the left knee. They are tattooed there. On his hueky chest is a fiving sea serpent—a spectacle that would scare many a brave fighter who has won erueling battles from that rugged work horse. John Barleycorn. On either limb are various flowers. sham- rocks, roses and cacti. On the broadside of his arm. just below his elbow a beautiful face of a woman is seen. An American flaw finds a resting place on his abdomen. Tommy has a wife and a prosperous clean. ing and dveing business in Kansas City. He gets considerable work out of wielding the big pressing irons. Instead of shadow boxing he uses the broom duster. Betimes he does a little road work. FIGHTING TAR HOPES TO OWN ABE’S TITLE OMMY is now 23 years old. Before he’s 25 he hopes to wear the feather- weight crown. which now adorns the h brow of Abraham Attelle past mas- ter. When Tommy was mustered out of the navy at New Orleans. three years ago, ‘é¢ fouzht Tommy Galvin in New Orleans and won a decision in 10 rounds. His salt wa- ter punch was good, and he copped his next 16 bouts on knockouts. In his more note- worthy conauests he has; Shaded Frankie Conley in 10 rounds at Kansas City. Lost Rivers on & we in 16 —— at Cal. He had vers on the ra last two rounds. Won from Tommy Bresnahan, Willie Gibbs, Jimmy Moran, Jeff o’Connell. Younzs Tommy Murvhy and Babe ales He lost and won with Jack White in 10 and 15 round engexements. He shaded Monte Attell in 10 rounds. He drew with Joe Mandot, then beat him. got a draw with a lightweicht, and whipped rion Woodson. “Dixon ill box Jobany Roche at the onan. Jewis to Joe

Take four wrestlers “in the running” for a title—say Wasem, Billiter, Luttbeg and Tremblay—and send them after the championship. Of the four two will be winners at the first meeting. Kill the losers. In the final there will be one survivor, the champion. Assassinate the loser. Thus there will be no possibility of a return match—the factor that made fakes possible. There’s no other way out of the di- lomma, in the opinion of Meyers. But there is, John. A few liver pills taken daily might change your view of the matter. * * * ANOTHER CHANCE LOST. CCORDING to Jimmy Hurst, man- ager of Clarence Ferns, the Okla- homa welterweight scrapper now here with Tommy Dixon, that test case which was to have been decided at Ne- vada, Mo., and which was expected to result in a legal distinction between the terms prize fight and boxing match, will not take place. Hurst states that the Prosecutor decided to abandon the affair for want of evidence. Too bad! Another chance lost to show that London prize ring fighting and modern boxing are not even related. Until such a ruling goes on the statute books, lawyers, laymen~and ministers will be slow to appreciate the progress boxing has made and the evolution the fight game has undergone. ANYTHING WENT, THEN. HERE is little comparison to be drawn between the fight of th don prize ring type, such poate ares Sullivan preferred, and the lmited- round affair of today. The modern six- round contest is mere child’s play com- pared to bloodthirsty affairs the old law was designed to prevent. In the days most of the laws now be- ing enforced against boxing were framed, ring contests were counte- ranced nowhere. Fighters had to fight in the woods, in cellars, or dodge the sheriffs as best they might. Today, to indicate that progress has been made, aid that the alteration of the sport along more human lines is rec- ognized, we may point to the fact that New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wis- consin, Tennessee, Louisiana, Califor nia, Washington, Nevada and other commonwealths tolerate the game and have laws permitting {t in various forms. © = rock on which the game may be wrecked, however, is the faflure of authorities to distinguish between the technical term “fight,” applied to a six- round affair, and the legal term “‘prize fight.”” One is a boxing match, in the State of Missouri; the other a felony. One applies to a sparring bout of a limited duration. The other to a finish fight. One is a healthful, sane sport. The other a brutal test of bulldog en- Curance. ~ -———_—

MONEY DEMAND GOOD Berlin Banks Pay 634 Per Cent for Year-End Re- quirements.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 19.——-The Even- ing Post, in its copyrighted financial review today,’ says: “Because of the arrangements un- der way at all the great financial centers to finance the year-end set- tlement obligations the develop- ments of the day in the money mar- ket were really more interesting than those of the stock market. “Germany figured promiently again in the o erations at both Lon- don and New York to secure heavy one-month advances. For such loans thé Berlin banks offered here ‘close to 6% per cent, Sng some large re- mittances were ade, “The Wall street fuetitutions that accepted those terms took the risk of exchange in not knowing at what rate exchange could be purchased to pay off the loans at maturity. “The situation was made the more yn gg however, by the unusual demand for cable remitfances for the end of January, as well as for the end of December. “This advance buying was called for by the fact that large credits will have to be shifted at the close of next month in connection with the paying off of loans made se eral weeks ago by Wall street inst tutions, “Those wishing to purchase heavy cable remittances, so as to lend money in Berlin next week, did so in part through advance sales of exchan will be available at the end of January. Movement Interesting. “These operations led to some highly interesting cross movements in exchange, and suggested that the year-end money market developments with the other side might be con- fused in an unusual degree. “There was nothing to _ indicate, however, that next week's settlement on thig side would be in the least degree troublesome so far as money rates were concerned. “Most of the day’s loans on call were made at 3% per cent, and the lots of money were sufficient to in- dicate that the participation of out- of-town banks in the Wall street loan market had become an impor- tant factor in the situation, “At none of the important markets was there material enlargement of speculation, or anything that could be called real investment buying. Trading here was at times more active than yesterday, and except for e decline in that yoad’s securities ere was no disturbance whatever caused FI the news of the Wabash receivership Recelvership Discounted. “The receivership was regarded as in- evitable under the circumstances, being accepted as providing the most work- able solution of the whole problem. “Prices of most of the active shares ‘moved upward rather sharply in the last hour, showing good gains for the day. The market became very quiet just before the close and there was no eager buying on the late advance. “Opening prices were fractionally low- er than i= esterday, then the movement became distinctly heavy, and after that irregular, with good buying of some stocks on the late rise. “None of the foreign markets ap- peared at all active, and it was evident that speculators abroad were disposed to go slow pending the adjustment of next week's settlement. “There were indications that one or two railroads were inclined to test the investment demand early next month, if they could prevail upon their bank- ers to,bring out some bond issues at that time. “The bond market moved within nar- row lines, with a fairly firm undertone for really high-grade issues.”’ DETAILED REPORTS OF DAY'S WALL STREET TRANSACTIONS 19.

Traders endeavored to place a bull- a ay 206. ish construction on the Government crop report, but met such heavy of- ferin oy in the advance that they were forc to abandon their penition. The report was so confusing under the revised manner of estimating, as to cal for many different interpreta- tions. Boiled down, the figures re- duced the wheat crop about 35,000,000 bu from the last estimate, or 25 ,000, 000 bu on spring and 10,000,000 bu on winter, and to a total ‘of 621, 000,000 bu. Last year’s crop, however, was reducéd to 653,000,000 bu, so the fig- ures showed actualy only a 14,000,000 bu reduction, Last year’s corn crop was reduced to 2,886,000,000 bu, making a shortage of 355, 000, 000 bu this year, instead of over 500, 000, 000 as appeared at a first survey of yesterday's figures, Oats were increased 49,000,000 bu over previous estimates but figured — 168,000,000 bu less than last year, win to last year’s figures being raised 54,000,000 bu, which seems im- re considering the record- reaking crop of last year. The figures generally were very un- satisfactory, and on oats appeared a4 joke. They had, however, a decidedly bearish influence on oats futures, as they were so far out of line compa to what the trade has been figuring on, and on which the present high price has been based. Outside of the report, there was little to influence market sentiment. The official] Liverpool cable said: “The weakness at Buenos Ayres at the close yesterday and the latest advices of more favorable Argentine weather offset the firmer American cables at the opening and values were her to %d lower. Following the og sy declining tendency was checked ~ e- American Government report an the pronounced Bi nage in spots, with all grades 4d higher and Manitoba grades 1d wet a a fair demand for cash.

SECRECY MUST STEP ASIDE J state Laws and Constitution cm ee ee re) J ‘ * . } gary to uncover fraud. Confer Authority to Make Examination. JEFFERSON CI'I'Y, Dee. %.—Judge Graves, writing the opinion of the Su- preme Court in banc, today certified back to Commissioner Culver the con- troversy over the production of the poll books as evidence in the State contests with instructions to determine for him- self whether the poll books shou:d be introduced upon the showing made by the Democratic contestants. The Court holds that the State laws and the Constitution confer complete authority to make a searching examina- tion of the poll books and ballots, to compare them, and do everything neces- Judge Marshall counsel for the Democratic contestants, when a member of the Supreme Court, held that there could be no comparison of the polling lists with the ballots, as this would lift the veil of secrecy. Judge Ferriss concurred with Judge Graves: Judges Lamm and Woodson concur in separate opinions. Judge Valliant dissented, and defended the Montgomery case, which was over- ruled. In the opinion Judge Graves says: “We hold that where there is an alle- gation of fraud, made in good faith, as appears to be from the pleadings in these cases at bar, the ballots and poll books should be opened for the purpose of showing fraud. “The stability of our Government is dependent upon the honesty and purity of its ballot. The secrecy of the ballots had better be scattered to the four winds rather than have such secrecy shield corruption in elections. Better a thousand times that the individual's vote should be spread upon canvas un- der calcium light than that fraud should be spread upon the lids of the official ballot boxes and poll books, with no known legal method of exposing such fraud.” In overruling the Spencer case, the opinion says: “To this doctrine we do not now sub- scribe and never have subscribed. The vice ¢ the error thus given by this couit lies in the language. No right had been give: to compare the ballots with the voting lists.

“Such a rule renders nugatory the constitutional provisions for contest. In election cases, a contest proceeding is but an empty shell if all avenues of proof are closed, as is done by this rule. Whilst our Constittujon and law provide for the secrecy of ballot, they donot contemplate that this secrecy should prevent the full and complete investigation of alleged fraud before the proper forum when fraud is in good faith charged.’’

If the wool shrinks 8 per cent, as some wools do, then the duty in such a case would amount to $11 on 2 pounds of scoured wool. This, of course, would be prohibitory.

And isn’t it natural that good stock-keeping should mean at this store Christmas presents for eleventh-hour shoppers to buy, that are not touched by soil or mugsed over by eareless handling. Nowhere is this more conspicuous than— In Christmas Handkerchiefs — where from the simple little Handkerchiefs of cambric to those elaborate filmy squares of lace, one may still find a wealth of dainty effects for gift-choosing.

In Christmas Gloves— with sizes‘complete ih the colors that are wanted, and of the qualities that have distinguished this store for many years as ‘‘the glove-store of St. Louis.’’ In Christmas Books— where any book wanted. may be obtained at a moment’s notice or will be procured in the least possible time. In Christmas Dolls and Toy 5 where gifts for children may be selected—whether the r. sought be a little inexpensive doll or a very elaborate mechanical outfit for the boy nearing manhood. In Doubt? A Merchandise Certificate— The Merchandise Certificate is solving the Christmas problem for the multitude. Exchangeable at any time by the recipient— issued in any amount. On sale at Postoffice and in Main Floor Annex. Will you help us give the most perfect service by see sure clerks get your name and address correctly?

RAPPED IN REPORT BY COMMISSION Order of Latter Body Reducing Inter-Mountain Rates En- joined by Judges.

“NO REGULATION” ENSUED

Suggested Amendment to Law Provides for Valuation of Rail Property.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—Sharp issue is taken by the Interstate Commerce Commission with the Commerce Court in the twenty-fifth annual report of the commission transmitted to Congress to- day. what popularly is known as the “‘trans- continental rate cases,” involving freight rates from the Atlantic to Pacific Coast terminals and to intermediate points. Existing rates of the trans- continental lines from Eastern points to inter-Rocky Mountain cities are ma- terially higher than to Pacific Coast ter- minals. In a decision interpreting the long-and-short haul provision of the rresent law, the Interstate Commerce Commission directed, by order, that a relation of rates should be established between the Pacific Coast and points of origin in five zones, into which the United States was divided. The effect of the order was to reduce rates to Inter-Rocky Mountain cities and prevent the railroads from exacting from shippers the Pacific Coast rate plus the local rate from Pacific Coast terminals to the intermediate points. The orders of the commission, on appli- cation of the transcontinental carriers were enjoined by the Commerce Cour‘, and the matter has been carried on-ap- peal to the United States Supreme Court System Radically Wrong. In its report to Congress today the commission declares that “it is a waste of transportation and therefore. uneco- nomical and wrong to maintain a system of tariffs which are expressly intended to develop the Pacific Coast cities and to arrest the development of the in- terior points, “It is impossible to disassociate the intermediate from the long-distance point. Whether the intermediate rate is reasonable depends upon what rate is made to other points on both sides of it, and to permit the railroads of this country to select points where they will, and where they will not compete would be intolerable.”’ While -the commission recognizes the full effect of water competition upon the rai] rates, it says ‘‘We have the frank admission of the railroad man- agers that they have’ subsidized or bought-some of the steamship lines and terrorized others until they can make the boast that theeffect of the sea has. been ‘neutralized.’ “A railroad policy of rate making must certainly be subject to limitations of the law, or else there is no law. .To say that there is a long-and-short-haul section under which a carrier may not charge more for the shorter than the longer haul but that the railroads may, to any extent they please, carry out a policy of blanketing the country for the benefit of the farther points and not the nearer points, is to say that a railroad may, without restraint, effect a ruinous discrimination and give no justification Save its own determination or whim. There can be no regulation of rates as to discrimination or preference under such an interpretation of the law. Must Fix Differential. “The Commerce Court intimates that the mistake of the commission is in having attempted to fix a relation of rates instead of establishing reasonable rates; but, as we have already pvintel out, there is no way in which the dis- crimination found to exist in these tariffs can be prevented except by fix- ing a differential, since we have no power to establish an absolute rate or fix a minimum charge below whicli the carrier is not free to go. The commission holds the fixing of reasonable rates to be a legislative func- tion, not subject to review by the courts. Congress, it is maintained, has delegated that power to the commission, and the intimation is clear that the courts, in the opinion of the commission, has no power to review such rates as may have been established through the orders of the commission in the trans- continental cases. An elaborate discussion is presented of the work of the Division of Inquiry showing that since Dec. 1, 1910, 62 in- dictments for criminal violations of the ect to regulate commerce Were returned. The aggregate of fines assessed was $214,225. Many investigations were made that disclosed practices not of sufficient gravity to warrant prosecution’ but of such doubtful propriety that the com- mission ordered their discontinuance. In ‘this connection the commission says sig- nificantly: “It becomes increasingly evident that entire freedom from discrimination can be secured only by a complete separa- tion of the business of transportation from every form of commercial or in- austrial enterprises.”’ Recommends Amendments. In conclusiow the commission rec- ommends that the law be amended £0 as to require telephone, telegraph and cable companies to publish, file and post their interstate tariffs; to make the Filkins act applicable to such companies; that transportation companies be re- quired to adopt a system of uniform classification of freight; to provide ad- ditional safeguards in railroad transpor- tation for employes and the public; to relieve the commission of the furisdic- tion of the street’ railways of the Dis- trict of Columbia; to provide for the reg. ulation and control ef capitalization and suitable provisions for the valuation of tallway property; and that a suitable building be provided for the use ef the commission. bisa i She will name the day ff you send her

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—Sharp issue is taken by the Interstate Commerce Commission with the Commerce Court in the twenty-fifth annual report of the commission transmitted to Congress to- day. The issue is made principally upon what popularly is known as the “trans- continental: rate cases,” involving freight rates from the Atlantic to Pacific Coast terminals and to intermediate points. Existing rates of the trans- continental lines from Eastern points (- hes ie 3 Dus ae ct Sa REGULATE STOMACH, LIVER & BOWELS TASTE GOOD-NEVER GRIPE OF SICKEN.

Whether the intermediate rate is reasonable depends upon what rate is made to other points on both sides of it, and to permit the railroads of this country to select points where they will, and where they will not compete would be intolerable.” While the commission recognizes the full effect of water competition upon says ‘‘We have the frank admission of the railroad man- agers that they have subsidized or bought-some of the steamship lines and terrorized others until they can make been ‘neutralized.’ “A railroad policy of rate making must certainly be subject to limitations of the law, or else there is no law. -To say that there is a long-and-short-haul section under which a carrier may not charge more for the shorter than the longer haul but that the railroads may, to any extent they please, carry out a policy of blanketing the country for the benefit of the farther points and not the nearer points, is to say that a railroad may, without restraint, effect a ruinous discrimination and give no justification Save its own determination or whim. There can be no regulation of rates as to discrimination or preference under such an interpretation of the law. Must Fix Differential. “The Commerce Court intimates that the mistake of the commission is in having attempted to fix a relation of rates instead of establishing reasonable rates; but, as we have already puvintel out, there is no way in which the dis- crimination found to exist in these tariffs can be prevented except by fix- ing a differential, since we have no power to establish an absolute rate or fix a minimum charge below whiclf the carrier is not free to go. The commission holds the fixing of reasonable rates to be a legislative func- tion, not subject to review by the courts. Congress, it is maintained, has delegated that power to the commission, and the intimation is clear that the courts, in the opinion of the commission, has no power to review such rates as may have been established through the orders of the commission in the trans- continental cases. An elaborate discussion is presented of the work of the Division of Inquiry showing that since Dec. 1, 1910, 62 in- dictments for criminal violations of the ect to regulate commerce Were returned. The aggregate of fines assessed was $214,225. Many investigations were made that disclosed practices not of sufficient gravity to warrant prosecution’ but of such doubtful propriety that the com- miission ordered their discontinuance. In this connection the commission says sig. nificantly: entire freedom from discrimination can be secured only by a complete separa- tion of the business of transportation from every form of commercial or in- austrial enterprises.”’ R mmends Amendments. In conclusiois the commission rec- ommends that the law be amended 20 as to require telephone, telegraph and cable companies to publish, file and nost their interstate tariffs; to make the Filkins act applicable to such companies; that transportation companies be re- quired to adopt a system of uniform classification of freight; to provide ad- ditional safeguards in railroad transpor- tation for employes and the public; to relieve the commission of the juriadic- tion of the street’ railways of the Dis- trict of Columbia; to provide for the reg. ulation and control of capitalization and suitable provisione for the valuation of tallway property; and that a suitable building be provided for the use ef the commission.

= HUSBAND OF OPERA STAR REFUSES 10 AGntt ON DIVORCE Mme. Marie Rappold Says She Has Pleaded in Vain With Phy- sician for Legal Freedom. SEPARATED FOUR YEARS She Declares They Do Not Love Each Other—He Blames Her Fame and Money. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. %—Mme. Marie Rappold, the famous soprano of the Metropolitan Opera House, said today that she had appealed in vain to her husband, Dr. Julius C. Rappold, to per- mit her to obtain a divorce. They have been actually separated four years and practically separated six. Only a few intimate friends knew of the trouble between them. The fact that she has lived with her daughter, Lillian, in fine apartments in New York and he in humble rooms at 750 Flushing avenue, Brooklyn, was plausibly ex- plained on the ground that her throat could not stand the exposure in trips between Brooklyn and the opera house. Dr. Rappold’s version of the trouble was that of a-young, struggling phy- sicfan marrying for love, slowly working up a good practice, willing to sacrifice everything to give his wife a ‘‘ca- reer,’ then of her discarding him when she had won wealth and fame. He said he would not let his wife get a di- vorce ‘‘for her own good and for fear she will make an unwise marriage.’”’ When Mme. Rappold heard her hus- band’s version, she said: “Dr. Rappold has done me a great in- justice. I have not discarded him be- cause I am making money. We had ceased to live as man and wife before my first great success. I do not be lieve he loves me, and he does not love his daughter. ‘I determined not to waste my life on a man I did not love. So we separated, though for several years we continued to live under the same roof. “But as soon as I began to earn money I paid my full shares of all ex- penses. He has never paid one cent for Lillian. I have paid, for her education. I have borne all her expenses. Asked if she had a picture of her husband, she said: ‘“I wouldn’t allow one in my apartments. If he wants money he can gladly have it for the asking. But here is a funny thing. While I have not seen him in two years, he sends me roses steadily and comes ta the opera wifen I sing. Oh, he just walks right in. He doesn’t trouble to get a ticket. They know he is my husband and let him in.”

Franklin Avenue Merchants Open Evenings Until Christmas. The enterprising merchants of Frank- lin avenue are out with an announce- ment in the Post-Dispatch headed ‘‘No- tice to Working People,’’ saying that for their convenience the Franklin ave- nue merchants whose names are at- tached to the advertisement will be open every night this week until Christ- SOCIETY | Mrs. Edmund.
