YESTERDAY’S TEMPERATURES, High, 50 at 5 p. m. Low, 39 at 7 a. m. Clouds and cold winds are the weather bill - of- air for St. Louis and vicinity for Friday night. Unless the fore- caster is in error, the temperature Saturday is ex- pected to fall six degrees below the freezing point, and clouds will keep the sun off the job while Jack Frost works Friday night. They are expected to with- draw within 24 hours, however. Skating enthus-! jasts need hardly hope that our lakes and ponds will be converted to rinks by the little cold spell. Its duration is not expected to be long, although what will succeed it is only conjecture at present. Official forecast for St. Louis and vicinity: Cloudy and colder tonight; with lowest temperature about 26 de- grees, Saturday fair. Stage of the River: of .6 of a foot.

Collector Is Concealing It in His Desk to Avoid Payment of Taxes. License Collector Alit’s long-cherished desire to own a farm wes realized Fri- day morning when his employes pre- sented him with a 60-acre tract, out- fitted completely for gardening, fruit- growing, dairying and general agricui- ture. News of the gift was conveyed to Alt in a letter handed to him by his private secretary, Miss Barbara Walther, when he reached the office Friday. Alt was deeply touched and turned to his desk. As he lifted the cover, he was aston- ished to find the farm inside his desk. I, contains 60 square inches of ty landscape. The farm has a neat two-story house in a grove of shade trees; barns, sheds and a@ garage, an automobile with li- cense 1323, two watchdogs, a herd of cattle and two goats. It is in charge of a Swiss couple, ‘who are supposed ts be experts in thé dairy industry. All the* fields are neatly fenced and over the entrance is an arch with the words “Alt Colony.” Alt says he believes he can dodge the payment of taxes on his farm by &eep- ing it in his desk, where it will be out of Assessor Brinkop’s jurisdiction. 7 “DEAD” BROTHER ON FILM Lewis. There were two indictments against each, one on seven counts and one on foui counts in each Instance. No indictments were returned against six other former officials of the Conti- Insurance companies, who were indicted with Coudrey and Gardner last summer, and whose cases were di@missed with. the others on the technicality.

BOSTON, Dec. 22.—After receiving word recently that a long lost brother was dead, Mrs. John Doyle of East Bos- ton saw him stalk out on the canvas screen of a moving picture theater last night. The figure stepped out from a crowd in a naval scene, looked toward the audience, waved a hand and disappeared. An effort will be made to trace the source of the film. SHE HAD GAS METER BEAT Jan, .9. The indictment against Lewis, dupli- cating that returned last July, follows a six-years’ investigation of the Lewis concerns, and covers four propositions, the mails, in’ Which he is alleged, by misleading statements, to have obtained several million dollars. Ohe allegation is the sale of unsecured buying notes secured by mortgages on the buildings of the Lewis Publishing Co. Another deals with the issue by Lewis of long-time “debenture notes” as @ means of calling in paper on obliga- tions which would soon become due. An- other charge is the sale of stock in the ing company by means of mis- nting its financial icon cng Lewis’ Charges ution.

HIM COMPLETE FARM| JUDGE CAN'T LOSE. THAT CASE OF THE STRIKING JURY Withrow Gets It Again on the Motion of Lawyers to Set Aside Defiant Verdict. SUIT IS OVER A. WILL

Jury Refused to Pass on Case for Priest as the Court Directed.

/ - “You will hear labs ile soon on this.” Judge Withrow of the Circuit Court anrounced Friday to the attorneys in th: case at the conclusion of argu- ments on two motions to set aside’ the verdict of, the “striking jury’? which during four days held out against his instructions in the McDermott will case. He took the case under advisement. Attorney Thomas E. Mulvihill, repre- senting the Rev. Father John White, heir and executor of the will of Mrs. Bridget McDermott, had filed two mo- ticns asking that the verdict of the jury be set aside. One asked that the verdict be annulled and that a judg ment be given in favor of Father White. The other motion asked that a new trial be granted. In Contempt, He Says. “The verdict of the jury was contrar; to the instruction of the Court, an. the jurors were in contempt of court,’’ Mulvihill declared in arguing the mv- tions. ‘“‘The jury had little or no regar'! for the law or organized governmert. The verdict is either the result of pas- sion and prejudice or of inexcusable ig- norance.’’ Mary Farington, who filed the sur asking that her mother’s will be set aside on the ground of undue influ- ence by Father White, said that there was no conflict in the testimony which properly was for the jury to decide. “The testimony of the two wit- nesses to the wil showed that they were sent for by Father White,” he said. “There was evidence pro and con, and the jury had been called to decide which was true. Says Court Erred. ‘The court erred in directing the jury to return a peremptory verdict.” “There was nothing for the jury to decide,”’ interrupted Judge Withrow. “We differ there, and we will not argue that point further,” answered Moore. It is expected that the motions will be passed upon within a few days. Judge Withrow goes to the criminal division of the Circuit Court in the Four Courts Building Jan. 1, and Judge Hitchcock will succeed him in the civil division.

MARGARET H. POTTER, NOVELIST, IS DEAD Woman Who Wrote of Chicago Society Is Victim of Heart Disease. CHICAGO, Dec. 22.—Margaret Horton Potter, novelist, died suddenly at her apartments here today from heart dis- ease. The novelist formerly was the wife of John D. Black, from whom she was di- vorced. Many of her novels were re- garded as based on her knowledge of Chicago society. For the last four months she had lived at the Chicago Beach Hotel and prior to that had spent some time in a sani- tarium. According tothe hotel attend- ants, she had been severely ill for sev- eral days. The Coroner has been asked to inves- tigate. Mrs@Potter was the daughter of a millionaire steel mantfacturer, O. W. Potter. After she was divorced she kept her maiden name, using the pre- fix “Mrs.” When she was committed to a sanitarium, the examining phy- sician declared she was suffering from chronic alcoholism and the pro- tracted use of morphine. ATTEMPT MADE TO ROB ACTRESS’ TOMB $80, ooo Pearls Reported Stolen, " Later Found Under Mme. Lantelme’s Head. PARIS, Dec. 22.—A_ sensation was caused in Paris today by the report that ghouls had broken into the tomb of Mme. Lucie Lantelme,sthe celebrat- ed actress, and stolen from her coffin many valuable pieces of jewelry, in- cluding an $80,000 necklace. The robbers were unsuccessful, how- ever, for the jewels were later found under Mme. Lantelme’s head in an en- velope. One of the thieves had eyvi- dently wounded himself in forcing open the metal casket, as a trail of blood led from the place. Mme. Lucie Lantelme, who was of poor parentage, achieved great success

IORIENTAL STYLES SUCCEED HOBBLES FOR SPRING DRESS Barbaric Splendor for St. Louis Women Coming With Warm Weather.

DESIGNS ON EXHIBITION

‘Startling Innovations Shown to Manufacturers at Jefferson Hotel.

Draped upon inanimate forms in a big room atthe Jefferson Hotel Friday morning were modeis of the garments in which ultra-fashionable St. Louis wom- en will be dressed next summer. They were brought here by a trade publica- tion for the inspection of manufac- turers. It is an annual event. Not even the retailers will be nermitted to see these designs until the latter part of February. To say that an Oriental hint is ever present in them would be to put it mild- ly. They are so Oriental they make one think of water pipes and a haunting Hindoo melody played upon a pipe of six notes, accompanied with the ryth- micai pounding of a kettle drum. Even some of the materials are suggestive of Turkish baths, because they look like heavy crash towels. And there are gir- dles in the exhibit that ought never to be worn by any young lady whose first name isn’t Fatima. 3 Improvement on the Hobble. I’rom the garments on dispiay, as one beholder remarked, it looks as if the Parision artists had tried out the harem skirt to see how we'd like it. Finding we liked it pretty well, they went one step further. Hence the cobwebby and yet colorful vestments of 1912. There is that diaphanous party waist in two colors and high lights, for in- stance. One look at it will make one hanker for an Egyptian cigarette. It is really in two parts. One is an under- vest of ecru bengaline, with a collar of turquoise blue and an edging of chiffon lace inserted in the back—a very filmy chiffon at that. Over this is a ground- work of scarlet gossamer so thin it is all transparent. Worked into this are marvelous narrow curves of East In- dian embroidery, interspaced with me- tallic threadwork and crimson conven- tional flowers. Just under the second part is to be worn a broad scarlet sash of change- able silk trailing behind to the skirt. It is hard to conceive of a garment of such barbaric tone yet of such exquisite workmanship. One-Piece Gown. A hint of the same Oriental daring is in another party gown which yet has a counterbalancing effect of westem conservatism. It is a one-piece dress intended to drape around the body in bold outline as a sort of highly ornate, gossamer toga. In the back is a long panel of English eyelet embroidery in silk and a broad cross panel of the same material curves gracefully up- ward in front. The elbow sleeves are wide, with broad turned-up cuffs, ornamented with the buttons that are to be universal in 1912 costumes. A messaline and chiffon yoke gives additional gauziness to the waist, while a broad purple belt alll sash preserves the Oriental touch. ‘Terry’ is the novelty in material for next summer. It resembles coarse, heavy towelling more than. anything else but one is assured it is extremely costly and rare. Leather is greatly used in ornaments, being employed both for belt straps and button covers. Huge metallic buttons also are in vogue as are belt clasps of ivory. One of these latter on exhibition was 24%, inches high by 4% inches long with two human forms cut in bas-relief on the surface. Several jackets were shown the fronts of which were slashed with long bvutton- holes into which were set ‘arge buttons, with something of the effect of a gren- adier’s blouse. The slits of the button- holes were faced with bright colored silk. The styles of coats will not change greatly the reversible garments of light stuff with large buttons in front and turned up cuffs remaining rfopula~. One of those shown had one surface of a rich brown and the other of pea- cock green, with a loose front, extra Wide reversible effect, buttoned at the side. The entire ornamentation was found in the interchangeable facings of the two colors and in the leather straps that adorned the cuffs.

POWITZKY HIRED ZORSSERVANTSA ~ WEEK, HE SWEARS Complains That His Mother-in- Law Was Responsible for Their Quitting.

DENIES Me . 18 :--SHNGY

Says He Spent $600 or $800 a Month on His Home. - oo —_

Henry F. Powitzky, contesting his wife’s divorce suit, testified in Judge Shield’s court Friday that he hired two or three servant girls every week for his palatial Compton Heights home. “Why was that necessary?” he was asked. “Because my wife’s mother interferred with them so much that they wouldn't stay,’’ Powitzky replied. His household expenses, he said, were from $600 to $800 a month, and he gave his-wife $100 a month for pin money and paid an .average of $150 a month for dry goods bills. As a wedding gift, he said, he gave his wife $3500 worth of jewelry. Broke Into Desk. Once when he was away from home, he testified, his desk was broken open anc his private papers molested. Hts wife admitted doing this, he said, and in this way she learned that he hal sent an $800 check to his daughter by a former marriage. “Were you affectionate toward your wife?’’ he was asked. “I was,” he replied, “I frequently hugged and kissed her and she sat «uy my. lap.’’ Powitzky denied that he knew of his w:.fe shining his. shoes and that he turned off the lights at a birthday party given in honor of his wife's niece, Miss Edna Dienst. “Il did complain about the party,’ he said, “because my wife had given two other parties shortly before that. While I was having words with my wife, her sister, Mrs. Dawson, ordered me ‘wut of my own house. I did not send Mrs: Dienst a bill for $10 for the light.’’ Powitzky further testified that shortlv after his marriage to the plaintiff in April, 1907, her sisters, Mrs. Bmil Dienst and Mrs. Richard Dawson, began mak- ing objection to the Powitzky ante-nup- tial agreement. He declared the sisters said that under its terms Mrs. Pow- itzKky did not occupy the position of a} legal said he heard Pow- itzky to get a divorce and ‘‘a big bunch of alimony.’ He quoted his sister-in- law as saying that the money could be “put into Dick’s (Mrs. Dawson’s hus- band) business.”’ Agreement Canceled. The defendant also testified that his wife once threw a sewing box at him and pulled his hair because he refused to sign over to her their home at 3555 Longfellow boulevard. Subsequently the ante-nuptial agreement was can- celed, Powitzky agreeing to will his wife the share in his estate allowed by law, and she was given a joint interest with hirh in the home. According to » Powitzky, he never struck his wife nor her sister, Mrs. Dawson, aS charged in the plaintiffs testimony. He said he became ac- quainted with his wife, who was then Anna Ulch, divorced wife of Malcolm Ulich, in the summer of 1986 at Elkhart Lake, Wis. While Mrs. Powitzky was on the stand she related an incident at the Lieder- kranz when former Judge William Zach- ritz of counsel for her husband ad- dressed her as ‘“‘Sweet Annie.’ In an- swer/to a question by Judge Zachritz, Powitzky testified that his wife was af- fectionately known and called among their mutual friends as ‘‘Sweet Annie.’’ Before Powitzky began his testimony, Mrs. Powitzky’s former husband, Mal- colm Ulich, was called to the stand. He testified, in answer to a question, that Mrs. Powitzky’s reputation for veracity was not good. Son’s Former Wife Testifies. Mrs. Emma Powitzky, divorced wife of Frank Powitzky, a son of the defend- ant, testified that Mrs. HW. F. Powitzky had said she married Powitzky for money and not love, and that she could have married a young man. The wit- ness admitted that her former father- in-law is paying her the $30 a month ali- mony for his son. Patrolman Charles H. Schoenfeld tes- tified that he was on the scene the night of July 22, 1911, when Mrs. Dawson al- leged Powitzky struck and kicked her at the Powitzky home. Schoenfeld said he was attracted by the commotion, but declared he did not see Powitzky strike Mrs. Dawson. “How did Powitzky act at the time?’ the witness was asked. “Like someone that had had some- thing slipped over on him,” answered Schoenfeld. “What do you mean by that?’ said Judge Shields, sharply. “Well, he was walking in a circle and aidn’t seem to Know what he was do- ing,” responded the patrolman.

WRIGHT LORIMER, FAMOUS ACTOR TAKES OWN LIF Turns on Gas Stove and Lies With Head in the Oven.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—Wright Lort- mer, a. well-known actor, kHled himselt today by inhaling gas at his home here. Lorimer was 38 years old and began his stage career in Chicago several years ago. He was best known in the production of the “Shepherd King,” which he wrote with Arnold Reeves. Lorimer had made a careful plan to commit suicfde, as his body was found lying on the kitchen floor with the head stuffed in an open gas oven and pressed against the Open gas jets. The gas jets in the room also were turned on. Pre- cautions had beefi taken to prevent the escape of gas into the hall or through the windows. The actor had been dead an hour when found. Lorimer left three letters, two of which were addressed to business asso- ciliates and the third to ‘‘Friends.”’ Financial trouble is believed to have been the cause of suicide, as he told the housekeeper three weeks ago when he engaged his present apartment that he had been out of work some time. “Two days ago Lorimer dismissed his valet. "Setmer was born in Dana, Mass., ee: educated at Colgate Univer- sity, after which he went to England and took a course in English literature at Oxford University. On his return to this country he became a merniber of the Dearborn Stock Compafiy” in Chi- cago as utility man. Lorimer fitst became widely known in the production of “The Shepherd King’’ and in recent years has appeared in sev- eral other.plays. He was a member of the Players and the Lambs clubs.

A five-months’-old baby, who was taken on probation for adoption by Mrs. Benjamin Walls of 821 North Fifteenth street, St. Louis, two weeks ago, was the cause of a fight in East St. Louis Thursday afternoon, in which Detective Jerry Baxter was beaten and dog-bitten, and Dr. S. R. Harwood of 514 Missouri avenue was arrested on two charges. Mrs. Walls saw an adoption adver- tisement in a St. Louis newspaper two weeks ago and took the child from Dr. Harwood. Miss Mary becessiea, a sister-in-law of Mrs. Walis, ap- reared at Dr. Harwood’s office with the child and announced that her brother objected to the child because it Was too young. Dr. Harwood, according to Miss Wall, refused to take the baby back unless he were paid 75 cents for the adoption pa- pers, which he said had been made out. Miss Wall went to see Chief of Detec- tives. Overniire, and he sent Baxter to the physician's office tu straighten mat- ters out.

County, Missouri, 58 years ago, and lived on the farm of his father until 1878, when he was arrested for’ the murder of Fuller, a neighboring farmer with whom he _ quarreled. When he was acquitted of that charge, he went to Vinita, and lived on Lit- tle Cabin Creek, where there was a camp of bandits, among them Jim Cummings and Frank James. Swin- ney said that he did not know'if they were the real notorious Cummings and James or not. He admitted that he did not know the real Cummings and James even if he did come from Clay County. Says He Shot Robber. Ed Wilson, alias Miller, one of the campers, asked him to help rob ia train near Vinita, he said, and he went along, but it was at the insti- gation of a route agent of an ex- press company. armed, he said, like the rest of them, but did not mean to see a robbery committed. When Miller opened fire on ‘‘Chick’’ Warner, the train conductor, Swinney said he shot Miller, and the robbery fell through. The other two robbers were at the water tank waiting to board the train. Swinney jumped from the train and ran away. Later he was caught and held for the murder of Miller. He was tried in the Federal Court at Fort Smith, Ark., and acquitted in January, 1883, he said, His next trouble was that fall, when he wrote a lJetter to A. A. Talmage, an official of the Missouri Pacific, demand- ing $2000 “or his imprisonment in Fort Smith and threatening to ‘attend to” Missouri Pacific employes if he did not get the money. He was tried for writ- ing this threatening letter in St. Louis and was sentenced to serve two years in the penitentiary. He served 18 months. Swinney’s life, after his’ release in 1835, was a quiet one, he said, spent on until January, 1888, when, with three other men, living on an island in the Missouri, he attempted to rob a Wa- bash train. He was shot in the leg and sentenced to 10 years in the peniten- tiary. Met Snyder on Train. He wa@ released in 1897, he said, for good behavior, and it was on the train coming from Jefferson City that he met Robert M. Snyder, the Kansas City promoter, who, he says, afterward got him to go to Oregon in a search for hidden gold. Swinney said he first saw. Kimmel July 21, 1898, in Arkansas City, Kan., where Kimmel was a banker, Sny- der had sent him, he said, to get Kimmel to go on the Oregon expedi- tion, Snyder, J.

On the way back Swin- ney heard a shot and saw Kimmel fall, then, looking around, he saw Johnson fire at Snyder, missing him. Then, Swinney said, he, himself, killed ‘Johnson. j .“The setting sun fell full on his face, and I shot bim fiwe times,” he said. Kimmel died that night, and Swinney buried him and Johnson in one grave, he gaid. He divided the $4000 equally ring and $898 back to Portland; whehce they intended to send it to his~ family. But the bag which contained the money and valuables. was stolen in a Portland boarding house, he said.

~— STENNEY ERSAYS ~ALLCOLLINSVILLE ANEW OF TROT anes Dealer Offers to Summon Neighbors in Threatened Suit Against Mrs. Leathe for Alienation of Affections of Her Daughter, Miss — Lucile Wilson. ASSERTS HE WAS “CATCH OF TOWN” While He Is Telling of Their Many Buggy Rides, She, Through Her Lawyer in Reno; ‘Denies She Ever Promised to Wed Him. A horse and buggy, the favorite means of rural courtship a few years ago, aided William Steinmeyer, he now declares, in wooing Miss Lucile Wilson, in -the days before her mother, Mrs. Grace A. Leathe, inherited her present fortune of about $3,000,000. Steinmeyer, who is 54 years old, says he can bring ‘‘all Collinsville’ to prove that he and Miss Wilson were engaged at a time when, he asserts, he was “the catch of Collinsville.” and when she had not her present prospect of inheriting Ereat wealth. He thinks seriously of citing some of the residents of the Ii- linois town as witnesses in the breach otf promise suit which he plans to file against the young woman. He says She is 30 years old, although her St. Louis friends say she is 25. Her Denial Ia Given. Miss Wilson, now the guest of her sister in Reno, Nev., made a statement Friday through her brother-in-law, Ak bert D. Ayres, that she was never erm gaged to the middle-aged lumber dea’ er, and that her friendship with him terminated years ago. Since then, sine said, he has “‘hounded’’ her, and their most recent interviews’ has ‘‘ae- manded money for what he termed his broken heart.’’ yres, a lawyer, in transmitting Miss _Wilson’s’ statement to a Post-Dispatch correspoudent, acd- ed that Steinmeyer ought to have had his heart soldered together by a plumb- er. : *T wasn’t much more than 4 wher. I first courted ‘Peg,’”’ said Steirmey>r | to’ a Post-Dispatch reporter, in tellirg his story of his former acquaintance with the young woman. “I had a horse anc buggy, an@® there wasn't a voung fellow in town that was more sought after.”’ “You were the catch of the town, suggested Steinmeyer’s iawyer, William L. Bonnenkainp, who wus listening to the interview. “That's what I was,’ Steinmeyer as- sented. ‘‘Well, ‘Peg’ and I were sweet- hearts, and everybody in Collinsvil:e knew it. Sundays, and nearly cvery evening, peopie saw us out riding tc- gether. I was as well off as her fatner, the late Maj. Wilson; was better off, in fact, and her mother never mode any objection to me in those days. And after her husband died und she mar- ried Millionaire Leathe, she still seemed friendly—only that she didn’t want us to get married then. Saya He Was Told to Wait. “She told us to wait a few years, and some time, when she was wealthy in her own right, she would start us off with a fine home of our own. I didn't realize then that this was just her way of separating us, but I realized it later, when. she and her daughter traveled a and I seldom heard from ‘Peg.’ I learned after that she never got the letters I sent her. “I have been in St. Louls a great deal | in the last two months, trying to see ‘Peg,’ and as Mr. Edwards says; I have had trouble with him about it. The last time I saw her in the Planters, she told me she still loved me, but she added, ‘I haven’t any money of my own, you know.’ | | ’ “I told her that was all right, that I had enough for both, and that her money Wasn't. what I was after. And that is true. I would be glad to take her without any money.

Lawyer Says She Never Was En- gaged to Steinmeyer and That He “Hounded Her.” RENO, Nev., Dec. 22.—Miss Lucile Wilson, who is visiting her sister here, declined today to discuss the Steinmeyer matter, but authorized her brother-in- law, Albert "D. Ayers, a local attornev and State Assemb!yman, her. He said: ‘‘Miss Wilson knew Stein- meyer many years ago just as she knew as merely good friends a good many others. She has refused to speak to him for several years past, during which time he has hounded and driven her from one part of the country to another. “In her efforts to get rid of him and for that very reason is she in Reno at the present time -with her sister, for the express purpose.of.heeping away from him and freeing herself from his con- tinued and persistent annoyances in his attempts to force himself upon, her at- tentions. “She is not engaged to him, and never was.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—Jimmy Scully’s little sister was in a fair way to get a $25,000 diamond necklace for Christmas from Jimmy, who is an errand boy in a tailoring estabiishment. He found, on the street, a beautifui bauble of 239 shining stones which he stowed away, thinking the stones were glass and con- sidering the string a perfectly appro- priate gift for Mary. Hvuwever, when James innocently displayed his find to one of the men in the shcp an expert was called in and speedily determined that the necklace was very valuable. The necklace was the property of Mrs. Mary Steinman cf Tuxedo Park. In her happiness over recovering her gems, she made Jimmy a rresent of a brand- new $100 bill.

temptible schemes directed against a ‘helpless woman. I believe that Stein- meyer’s conduct should make him sub- ject to investigation by a proper com- mission. We deny tH&t there was ever any engagement of the two. “Miss Wilson knew Steinmeyer; it was after her father’s death, while her mother was in St. Louis, and she was living with her sister in Illinois, where he used to go to see her. If he has any photograph of her with the inscrip- tion upon it by her, as he claims, it is simply such a thing as any girl might give to many of her friends, and is in no manner any evidence of an engage- ment. “We admit that at one time there was a friendship, but never an engagement, rand that friendship even has béen broken off for a number of years. She has Only seen him once iIn;:those years, when she was unab'e to avoid him, and on that: occasion he demanded tmuney tor what, he termed a broken iieart.”’ Ayres added that he might have hired a plumber to solder it together. ‘“T ridicule any threat made. against Mrs. affections of her daughter,’ said Ayres. “It is silly. A mother always has the right to advise her, daughter in mat- ters of marriage and to keep her from undesirable marriages. There is no such thing known to the law as a suit against a mother for alienating the af- fections of a daughter from a fiance. As there was no engagement, no suit could be maintained in. this ‘instance, hut even if there had been, such an ac- tion is absolutely absurd.” Ayres hinted that other things were tehind Steinmeyer’s actipns, and that if Stelrmeyer ever “started anything,”

—— STOLEN PROE a I TRAGED 10 SUAVE | BURGLAR SUSPECT Silver Known to Have Been Taken From Homes Turned Over to Police.

Although the police continue to pile up incriminating evidence against him, Joseph Brown, alias Bauer, the man said by the police to have been an expert machinist by day and an ex- pert burglur by night, Friday stead- fastly reasserted his innocence. When asked how he came by the articles that had been stolen he reiterated the story that they had been given to him by a man named Floyd, yet he still refused to tell anything more about Floyd. Some 46 piecés of silver, stolen from the home of George H. Cottrill, 3619 Palm street, have been recovered and Brown ‘has been accused of having marketed them. John Connelly of 212 North Vandeventer avenue, night clerk at Horn’s restaurant, 504 Market street, produced these articles from his home ond> said he had, bought them from Brown. Connelly is being held by the ‘police A watch taken by two highwasmen from T. L. Welch, near Welch’s home, opposite Lafayette Park, July 19, - has + been recovered. Welch was stopped by two men. ‘One of these he identified several weeks ago in a man nam Woods, who has’ been convicted by the Federal courts for a postoffice-robbery. Welch failed to identify Brown. Witnesses from Alton visited police héadquarters Friday to see if they could identify in Brown a man who had cuta woman’s throat and robbed her of some jewelry three years ago. They said he was not the man. Among Connelly’s nosmanatiinn were found a silver hair brush and silver mirror, marked “E. J.

aT ; PASE HIS, DAUGHTER AS GUARDIAN Mrs. Rickart Says She Has Cared for Little Ones Since Sister's Death. *. Lewis B. Tebbetts and his daugh- ter, Mrs. Lioyd Rickart, are contest- ing in the Probate Court over the guardianship of three children of Mrs. Ellen Breck. The children are Louis, 14 years old; Bapbara, 12 years, and Letitia, 10 years. Both of their parents are dead. Mrs. Breck was a daughter of Tebbetts and Mrs. Rick- art's sister. The giseniansels ig being resisted by Tebbetts and his son-in-law, Ar- thur P. de Camp, on the ground that they, under Mrs. Breck’s will, are the legally consittuted guardians. The estate of Mrs, Breck was put in trust of her father and. De Camp for the benefit of the children. A suit was recently filed by ‘Rickart, acting for Louis Breck, asking an accounting and removal of the two trustees, Cared For Children. Mrs. Rickart testified: Thursday that she had cared for the children since her ‘sister’s death. She said her father never raised a question as to her being e¢ a& proper custodian until she married Rickart, about two years ago. Then, she said, he told her she would have to choose between the children and Rickart. She said that her -father had not op- posed Rickart’s attentions during the courtship. Asked about her former husband, Thomas A. Moore, who she divorced, Mrs. Rickart said that her father had said one a her husbands lived at his home and he did not want another one there. ‘‘Mr. Moore borrowed thousands of dollars from Mr. Tebbetts, but Mr. Rickart has not asked -him for one cent, the witness added. The Rickarts claim the right to act ae cuardians because, they say, Tebbetts and De Camp never qualified as such. Riekart, on the stand, testified that he is temperate in habits and that he keeps liquor in the house for medicinel pur- poses only.

IBURGLARS ESCAPE WHEN WARNING OF DOG IS UNAEEDED |} Dr. William F.. Kier Pays No Attention to Terrier and Loses $75. © LOCK ON DESK CUT Entrance to Lindell Boulevard ~ Home Gained With Brace and Bit. Pr. William F. Kier of 3609 Lindell boulevard might have caught the roh- bers looting the desk in his office at 43 a. m. Friday if he had heeded prom;t- | ly the warning given by his watchdog, Susan, which sleeps at the foot of his bed. The little skye terrier barked vio- lently at her master to wake him up, but he was so sleepy that he paid litle She was persistent and refused to iet him go back to sleep. When he got ut, she led him down the stairs to the of- fice door. The physician opened the door bona found that burglars had cut the lock out of his desk and had stolen $75 from one of the desk drawers. This was money he kept there handy fcr charitable purposes to give to repre- sentatives of organizations who called. Leave Tools on Floor. In their haste to get away the rob- bers left their brace and bit on the floor. Nothing but the money was taken. The robbers cut out a sash in the din- ing room window ‘with the aug-r bit and] got into the house.. They tried to bore out the lock in the kitchen door, but missed it after drilling reven holes. Two weeks ago the robbers - bored their way with augers through the kitchen door and stole $100 from a box on top of Dr. Kier’s desk. He did not report the robbery to the“police until Thursday, fearing that if it became known he would be a victim of burg- lars. NEGRO GRABS GIRL’S PURSE IN CABANNE Miss Susan Fritsch, a Junior at Wells College, Robbed— Loses but 20 Cents. A negro snatched a.purse from the hand of Miss Susam Fritsch at Hamilton and Pp. m., and escaped. The purse contain- ed 20 cents. Miss Fritsch reported the robbery to a clerk at the Hamilton Pharmacy and went to her home, 5745 Cabanne avenue.

HELD FOR SHOPLIFTING Proclaims Her Innocence, but Persists in Hiding Her Identity. A woman, hiding her identity behind fictitious names, is held at police head- quarters as shoplifter. She was arrest- ed at the Famous shortly after 4 p. m., Thursday, by Detectives Keaney and Chapman and charged with stealing three waists and three pairs of gloves. The woman protested that she was not a thief and said she was holding the articles while waiting for a saleswoman to have them wrapped. She had only 69 cents in her purse but insisted she intended paying for the articles with a check. “It was a@ $10 check and I must have lost it,’’ she said. ‘‘You may call me Mrs. Elizabeth Sanderson, but that is not my name.’ Gave Wrong Address. Later she referred to herself as Mrs. Anderson, but admitted that it too, was fictitious, when informed the address she had given, 1816 Wash street, was not her home she said she was aware of that fact. “T have three children,” she said, “and rather than have them disgraced I will be hanged. I have done nothing wrong, but I do not want my ss to know of my predicament.” She asked the detectives to pre a long distance telephone message to 4 Mr. Clansennin at 95 Dearborn street, Chicago. She dictated the following message: “Do you have the money? Mrs. An- derson, formerly Mrs. Sayne, wants your help. I am in trouble.”’

DIISSIA PREPARES FOR TARIFF WAR WHEN TREATY ENDS Schedules Will Be Raised 100 Per Cent, if Bill Passes in Duma. WOULD STOP COMMERCE Former President of Legislature Declares Action Is Necessary for Protection. By Associated Press. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 22.—A legis- lative proposal to provide for tariff war schedules applicable to the United States *t the expiration “of the Russo-American treaty of commerce and navigation of 832, has been introduced into the Duma by ex-President Guchkoff and other signers’ representing. the Octobrist and Nationalist parties, which are in con- trol. The bill proposes to raise existing Russian duties by 100 per cent and also to impose a duty of 100 per cent on ar- eles which are admitted free under the present Russian tariff. Besides these impositions, the bill proposes also to levy double the gross weight tax es- tablished by the law of June 21, 1901, on merchandise arriving by sea, and to levy a double tonnage tax. Should the present American tonnage tax be raised to the disfavor of Russian vessels, then the Russian tonnage tax will be correspondingly increased. It is said the schedules are to be ap- plicable to all countries which do not grant to Russia the most favored na- tion treatment in commerce and naviga- tion. The proposal will be submitted to a financial commission. The necessity for the proposed icatenes tion is explained in an accompanying declaration in which it is stated that the regular American tariff schedules which will be applicable to Russian goods at the expiration of the treaty of commerce and navigation of 1832 will be so high as to have a prohibitive char- acter’ and that they greatly exceed the Russian normal tariff and navigation taxes which would be naturally applica- ble to American goods in the absence of the treaty. Takes Action on Treaty. The province of foreign affairs lies outside the competence of the Duma, and treaties are not subject to its ap- proval, nor is the Minister for Foreign Affairs answerable to the Duma on the state of foreign relations. Nevertheless the Duma exercises through the budget an influence on foreign affairs. In the long declaration accompanying the bill the signors deal fully with the Russo- American treaty and recount the formal steps taken by the President of .the United States. It says: “The abrogation of the treaty be- tween Russia and America has a di- rect connection with the annual Rus- sian agitation which has been ener- getically conducted in America for the readmission of American citizens of Jewish faith. Article 1 of the treaty establishes the mutual rights of. entry, but contains a stipulation fer the observance of international laws, Cites Russian Law. “Deeming, in spite of this stipula- tion, that the cnforcement of the general Russinn laws in regard to foreigners of the Jewisin religion in the case of American Jewish citizens censtitntes an infringement of the -treaty, the House cf Representatives voted a resolution for its abrogation. “There cannot be any doubt that this view is unfounded. The Russian Gov- ernment and its representatives abroad cannot but fulfill the requirements of the Russian law contained in para- . Sraphs 213 to 25 of the passport statute and paragraph 81 and the following ones of the law on social rights, as long as these remain in force. Would Qualify Treaty. “On the other hand, the question of the admission or nonadmission into Russia of categories of foreigners be- Jongs to the province of internal legis- lation on the general principles of ir- ternal laws as well as on the strength of Article 1 of the treaty of 183). “Thus the Untted States has enacted very strict regulations seriously ‘imit- ing the right of entry of foreigners ai.c there is no doubt that the Federal Gov- ery.ment -would ward any attempt to dispute the legality of those reguiations from. an international point of view.” The declaration then quotes Article 2 of the Federal immigration law of r'eb. 20, 1907, and continues: ‘If we take into consideration also that the American law imposes a head tax on the whole line of foreigners seek- ing American shores, it becomes clear how stern are the restrictions to which Russians arriving in America are sub- jected. “We do not question the right of the Federal Government to apply any im- migration laws which are dictated by reasons of state, but we must note for that Very reason that the motive for the abrogation of the treaty of 1832 aa- duced jin. the resolution of the House of Representatives is unfounded.” The statement of the views of the ma- jority of the Duma is marked by the temperate. and dignified but firm lan- guage which is characteristic of the Russian attitude on the subject. M. Guehkoff's proposal, bearing 114 The t:ouse at once voted to submit the bill to the Financial Committee. The sig- natories include Octoberists, National- Asta, members of the extreme right and a@iso the Mussulman Progressives. Pee See

STEERING COMMITTEE IS HARD AT WORK eel St. Louisans Who Know In- fluential Détinocrats of Other States. Urged to Write Them and State So- cieties Are Requested to Use Their Influence. —

Post-Dispatch Offers $10,000 for Democratic Convention Fund N accordance with its origina), offer, the Post- Dispatch will pay $10,- 000 to the fund which shall bring the Democratic Na- tional Convention to St. Louis.

‘‘Bring the Democratic National Convention to St. Louis.’’ The Finance Committee of the Busi- ness Men’s League has opened subscrip- tion books for the Democratic national convention fund. Daily conferences are being held with the financial, industrial and business leaders of St. Louis. The subscriptions to the fund are said to have been started off in a manner high- ly satisfactory to the officials of the league. The campaign for the convention fund will be conducted contemporaneously with, the campaign to get the votes of committeemen for St. Louis. The Fi- nance Committee will devote its entire time to raising the money, while the Steering Committee will be just as busi- ly engaged in its work of influencing the national committeemen to vote for St. Louis. Business Men’s League Influence. The entire influence of the mem- bers of the league will be used to bring the convention to St. Louis. Other organizations in St. Louis will be invited to participate in the cam- paign. It is the intention of the league to make the convention matter one in which every St. Louisan can take part. The league wishes to have every St. Louisa . who knows a Democratic gov- ernor, senator, congressman or other influential official or politician to write to him and request him to urge his national committeeman to vote for St. Louis. All St.. Louisans who know members of the: Democratic National Committee are also requested by the league to write to them urging them to vote for St. Louis. The league is also eager to have the officers of every state so- clety in St. Louis write to their na- tional committeemen of their native states and request them to vote for St. Louis. Campaign of Letters and Telegrams. A campaign of letters and telegrams to national committeemen will be kept up continually between now and the meeting of the committee in Washing- ton Jan. &%. The league now expects to send to Washington a delegation prepared to guarantee the Democratic National Committee a jarger fund than either Chicago or Baltimore will put up; to give a guarantee that hotel] rates will be reasonable and will not be raised for the convention; a guarantee that St. Louis can furnish the best convention hall in America for the convention, and a further guarantee that St. Louis can and will provide ever facility needed for ‘the handling of the conv ention® and the comfort of the delegates and visftors. No announcement has yet heen made of the personne! of the Washington del- egation, but it will be headed by Presi- dent Wells. Harry B. Hawes and some others skilled in political art will be with the delegation. The Post-Dispatch received Friday fa- vorable telegrams from National Com- mitteemen Harvey C. Garver of Ohio and Edwin A. Newman of the District of Columbia. Garver says he ts opposed to taking the convention as far east as Baltimore, or farther west than St. Louis, and that he will vote either for St. Louis or Chicago, depending upon which makes the better offer. Newman declares that St. Louis prob- ably will stand the best chance for the convention if it holds out inducements equal to other cities. The Post-Dis- patch and the Business Men’s League have received many telegrams and let- ters indicating that St. Louis has an ex- cellent chance to get the Democratic convention, which. promises to be of un- usual interest by reason of the great number of presidential candidates and the hard fight that is sure to be made for the nomination. aie erenuenaiian eee a ; St. Loula Will Stand aval Chance Inducements., — WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. Editor Post-Dispatch—Your telegram, inquiring as to my preference as to the location of the Democratic national con- vention, has been received, an and in reply, will say that I have no objection to St. Louis whatever; on the contrary, I do not.know but what it would be my first choite for the convention, if everything else {s equal. Of course, I am not will-

: THE MISSISSIPPI DISCOVERED. The latest edition of the Taft Tri-Weekly Ex- ecutive Message devotes 600 words to internal waterways. The familiar three-sheet for the Ohio, which is never wanting when Mr. Taft introduces the subject of river improvement, is, of course, hung up. “It seems to me,” he says, “that an increased appropriation for the Ohio would be in the interest of fhe public.” Naturally. That Ex-Chairman Dickey made good use of his opportunities when he dined the other day at the White House is unmistakable. His $1,000,000 steamboat company at Kansas City is given valuable publicity in the message. Congress is urged to grant $2,000,000 a year for the Missouri River: six-foot project. The lakés-to-the-gulf plan receives in this message, the most unequivocal in- dorsement recalled in any Taft utterance. In its ‘entirety it is conceded to be “of national import- ance.” The Mississippi is not mentioned, but the Illinois link in the project is given even more space than Mr. Taft’s own river. Federal and Illinois co-operation is urged in ° obtaining navigation depths from Utica to the mouth of the Illinois River. Onfy “the branch streams receive executive at- tention—“Taft River, otherwise known as_ the Ohio; the Missouri and the Illinois. The trunk river is ignored. St. Louis’ half-million-dollar barge line will soon have floating property of greater capacity than any other company on the riparian system, but the Mistissippi is recognized onlysas an appendage of the Chicago canal and a drainage duct for the Missouri. However, Mr. Taft has gone irrevocably on rec- ord as to the point that Chicago should not be denied outlet below the mouth of the Illinois. That officially he has discovered the Mississippi in the vicinity of Grafton is encouraging. He may continue official expiorations farther south. ?. rr An appeal is being made in behalf of the over- worked teléphone operators at Christmas. Ev- erybody wants to ring up everybody else at about -the same time te wish them a merry Christmas, with the result that “Central’s” Christmas is madé miserable. Instead of Adding this last straw to “Central’ s” heavy burden, why not send hef a box of candy? FOLLOWING A GOOD EXAMPLE. The Ae oe eta Railroad’s Eastern news- paper friends ar& greatly delighted by that road’s announcement that it will in future make public the details of accidents. Evidently they do not know that the sudden clrange of heart thus seem- ingly evidenced follows after, and a long way after, the plan introduced by Benjamin F. Bush when he became president of the Missouri Pacific. The Pennsylvania system announced in 1909 that it would give news of accidents—with a string to them. , Newspapers have not discovered since then any disposition to abolish red tape ard make confidants of the pubuiic, as Mr. Busa has done. The Pennsylvania’s new announcement bears no sign of radical change. On the contra¥y, it looks and sounds like a very poor imitation. of the policy of quick and full publicity, through which Mr. Bush has done much to popularize the Missouri Pacific with the mil- lions of people in its territory whose sole depend- ence for knowledge of accident: ou his system is the hewspaper. .

A “whispering” whistle is to replace the old- time it. of the locomotive. Will some humane in} ou design a similar silencer for auto-horns? | alee bot i - ‘ahesbie HAROUN AT NASHVILLE. Fér two days,Gov. B. W. Hooper of Tennessee, asa convict Haroun al Raschid, ate prison fare at\ the State Penitentiary, slept in a cell and _ subjetted himself to all the conditions of convict life except those that restrict speech and move- ment. At this cost is the young Governor ob- - taining personal knowledge of the merits of ap- plications for pardon. Missouri’s Governor inspected the improvised

, municipal shelter of St. Louis late the other] night, but the thing farthest from his thoughts at the time was any purpose to seek indisputable information as to the needs of the place by assum- ing the Caliph role and becoming a lodger. Even Judge Kimmel of the St. Louis Police Court, who religiously visits the Workhouse @nce a month to investigate parole cases, has never shown any . disposition to merge the judicial identity with No. 7532 or other serially numbered inmate. The in- itiative and enterprise in research that lend them- selves readily to the purposes of the press seem lacking in our unromantic Missouri officials. A wédkness in such unconventional modes of investigation is that but one side of the case is seen. After his two days at the prison in close covtact with murderers who ask clemency, will Gox, Hooper also spend two days getting in touch with each struggling family left dependent. when its head became the victim of a homicide? Will ‘he seek equally detailed information as to the ruin wrought by thieves and suet and vio- - lators, of trust? ’ ‘The Federal rim is suing the Walaa

THE REPUBLIC’S FESTIVAL CHARGES The St. Louis Republic printed today the fol- lowing editorial article: | The Boast-Dispatch’s Christmas “entertain- ment,” which other people pay for, is a hum- bug, and eVerybody in St. Louis ought to know it, It is the cheapest and the most contemptible newspaper advertising scheme that exists any- where on this planet, The contribution of the Boast- Dispatch, a beggarly one, is, or was, printed daily at the top of the column. No matter what others contribute, mention is made of it only once, if at all. No newspaper advertising scheme reaches real distress, No selfish newspaper exploita- tion goes to the root of things, No boastful, begging newspaper enterprise that takes ac- count only of its own mania for “publicity” and its own perverted fdea of “public service” can by any possibility reach deserving pov- erty. We believe that most of the money, con- tributed in some cases reluctantly, is worse than wasted. To feed and advertise and ex- ploit and photograph and parade the poor one day out of the 365 days is to mock them. It is a gala season net for the modest poor, but for the grafter, the malingerer and the loafer. It is no more a true charity than it is an exhibition of true journalism. What The Boast-Dispatch does with its own is nobody’s business. What it does with. the pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters that it exacts from the working people of St. Louis to inflate its own braggart methods is a se- rious question indeed. The Post-Dispatch does not care to defend from malicious attack its own motives and labors in co-operating with thousands of generous St. Louis- ans to whose voluntary contributions of money and service the success of the Christmas Festival is due. We do not have to defend the Festival. Its unparalleled record of bountiful Christmas cheer for the unfortunate speaks for itself. For 12 years it has been a unique and beautifui ex- pression of the community’s Christmas spirit and good will to all. It is not a charity, but an act of hospitality. We regret that passion, prejudice and envy should lead any newspaper or any man to attempt to block the efforts and blacken the reputations of those who are trying, on the day of good will, to brighten the lives of those who would other- wise be without joy on that day. We have only profound compassion for the newspaper which can find in its heart and mind n6 better contribu- tion to the kindly activities of the Christmas sea- son than base and bitter reflections on the mo- tives of those who give. But we feel bound to answer and rebuke the Re- public’s malignant insjnuation and charges against the kindly disposed and reputable citizens who manage the Christmas Festival and dispose of the funds contributed through the Post-Dispatch. This newspaper is only the agent of publicity and the medium by which the Executive Committee and its associate workers are brought into co- tors and are enabled to do their work. The Post-Dispatch receives and acknowledges the contributions, but every dollar of expenditure is directed and approved by committees of citi- zens. Every dollar contributed goes directly to the objects of the festival—the food for the chil- dren’s festival, the homeless men’s dinner and the baskets for the shut-ins and the material. and labor necessary to prepare and serve them. The receipts and expenditures for the Festival Fund are audited every year by a select commit- tee of business men. Last year’s committee, of which Mr. Charles H. Huttig, president of the Third National Bank, was chairman, was com- posed of the following gentlemen: Chas. H. Hut- tig, Geo. J. Tansey, Hugo Koehler, Sam D. Capen, James E. Smith, W. K. Bixby, Edward F. Goltra, Chas. P. Senter, J. R. Barroll, Harry B. Hawes, Walker Hill, W. J. Kinsella, Elias Michael, H. W. Peters, G. H. Walker and Thos, H. West. The following report of the chairman concerning the management and expenditures of the Festival Fund was published in the Post-Dispatch Feb. 8, 1911: To the Executive Committee of the Post- Dispatch Christmas Festival Fund: As chairman of the Audit and Finance Com- mittee of the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festi- val, I submit the following statement of re-: ceipts and expenditures of the festival fund for the year 1910. Receipts. Balance from last year . Contributions received from sundry persons From Post-Dispatch to pay the ad- ministration expenses 1,208.53 se cceccccces + $12,118.88 Total receipts ... Disbursements. Festival at Coliseum........84,710.35 . 2,197.62 Dinner for homeless men.... 810.00 Administration expenses paid by Post-Dispatch ... 10.967.49

Balance on hand +++eee.8 1,151.39 I have examined the books and accounts of the treasurer of the fund, Mr. Charlies M. Al- exander, cashier of the Post-Dispatch, and. find them all correct. All the contributions te the fund were received by the treasurer, en- tered on the books, and acknowledged in the columns of the Post-Dispatch. All materials, labor. amd other necessaries for the festival were obtained on requisitions of the chairmen of the committees and or- dered by the chairman of the supply commit- tee and on approval of the executive com- mittee. The bills were approved by the chafr- men of committees and paid on vouchers signed for the executive committee by its secretary, Mr. Grant Richardson, and for the jatch by Mr, George S. Johns. Every iar expended ts accoutted for by an ap- | proved bill and a signed and approved In addition to its contribution of $250.00, the

operation with thousands of volunteer contribu-! | amounted to $1208.53. Thus all the money ex- pended from the fund was applied to the ac- tual necessaries of the several divisions of the festival. It is gratifying te note the efficient system on which the festival is conducted) and the economy and accuracy with which the fund is administered. . It gives me pleasure te state ‘that the ag- gregate of contributions for 1910 exceeded that of any year in the history of the festival. But despite the tncrease of expenditures due to greater cost of material and a larger num- ber of guests in every department, there is a balance of $1151.38 deposited at interest to the eredit of the fund. (Signed) Cc. H. HUTTIG, Chairman Audit and Finance Committee. The Executive Committee, which has complete charge of the management of all the branches of the Festival and directs the expenditures and work through sub-committees, is com- posed of the following members, many of whom have been on the committee from the beginning: game” tyrant of Syracuse, begs lowed to go home to arfen fairs, Damon. pledging — for the reappearance ¢ Dionysius consented and | turned just in time Be from death.

é ue ae = EB had told her he was an Orange grower, and he had had told her,°too, that he had a charming little bung- -alow amid the foothills of the Sierra Madre, where they would make their nest, he and she. But he had not told her that he was a widower, and that the Cali- fornia nest already contained three boys a-and a girl. Oliver Nip had heard somewhere that _ welf-preservation is the first law of na- '| ture, and as he knew—from the moment he Bh not live without Maria Tuck, he considered himself justified under the - faw in withholding these particular facts. It was not that Maria had de- _. @lared or even intimated that she would bes >> not marry a widower with children; but - Oliver was taking no chances. Instinc- “tively he felt that if Maria knew the ae whole story, it would require something ' More attractive than Oliver Nip’s _ @lumsy and homely personality, with all iis oranges and all his dollars, to induce her to assume the parentage of four ready-made Nips.

At all events, he was engineering his courtsh‘n upon this as- ‘sumption; and while, out of respect to e Tt his, religion, he was careful to tell her mio fibs, he nevertheless showed himself am - @m expert in that form of diplomacy which the lawyers call suppressio veri— ee of the truth; a trick by _ time. ‘He had met Maria at Atlantic City. aa She had lost her husband, Tobias Tuck, © only the year before. She was still in _ mourning for him; not because she had - loved Tobias particularly but because _ it -was the custom and because she felt “BO sorry for herself. And it was Oliver's “Bympathy for her that had won her heart, in the first place; and it was ‘ jargely his glowing pictures of Cali- ‘fornia and substantial evidence of a | generous bank account, that, in the ~*Becond place, had won her hand. She had had a hard life with Tobias, she ‘eonfessed to Oliver, and to exchange it now for a life amid oranges and roses ‘ and - perpetual spring, was to her a vision of exceeding great joy and an in- spiration to a ready acceptance of Oliver’s suggestion that they cut short their engagement and enter into matri- monial happiness without further wait- ing. Therefore, though their meeting and acquaintance and betrothal were all compassed within the space of three weeks, Oliver’s infatuation and Maria's readiness—combined influence of murmuring waves and bath- ing suits and lonely sands—had accom- plished as much toward a true under- standing as a year and a half of formal love-making. And so, the wedding took place; quiet- ly and unannounced, in the clergyman’s back parlor, with only the clergyman’s sister and two or three accommodating hotel guests as witnesses. And Oliver now had his Maria, safe and sute; and as they got into the carriage, to start forth on their honeymoon—a journey that was to take them first for a visit to her home in Virginia and then by gen- tle stages to his home and the bungalow in California—he told her he was the happiest man on the face of the earth. But he wasn’t; and. he knew he wasn’t. The realization that he had deceived her came upon him with sudden and depressing force. He had thought it would be an easy matter to explain the situation to her. as soon as she was se- c rely his; but he found now he had overestimated his courage and ability. What if it should cost him_her_loye should make a scene? Suppose she Should leave him! Why, O why, had he not told her at once? Then it would have been easy. Now, the task loomed before him desperate and gigantic. It was inevitable; there was no alterna- tive; he must tell ‘her. But he would promise her anything; the children should be sent away, to boarding schoo), to the reformatory—anywhere at: all; and if that would not suffice he would take them out and lose them in the mountains. It was Maria or nothing. “Maria’’ he began, taking her hand and turning away his head; ‘Maria, gear, are—are you fond of children?” Maria gave a start and drew away. “I —I don’t know for sure what you're driv- in’ at, Olfiver,’’ she stammered; ‘‘but—I now, instead of keepin’ it any longer as @ surprise, that I’ve got. seven of ’em —five boys and two girls—and the finest lot of young ones you ever saw; and they’re all a-waitin’ now to see their new p2.’’

About N England the King has the first call over the telephone at all times, over his dominions. The ‘divine right’”’ extends to the wire. It is a curious thing, but proportion- ately the Chinese are about the most’ extensive patrons of the télephone in America, particularly the- long-distance, and especially out in San Francisco. There John. Chinaman, merchant, does not care how large a telephone bill he tun3 up, and complains less than any- one else. Chinese “hello” girls are in this ex- change, and a remarkable feature is that the Chinaman in San Francisco never calls a number, if he can help it, but the name of the party he wants. Telephone subscribers Have certain rights according to law, and the com- panies have others. Some of these are Miteresting tothe man who only thinks of his telephohe as a quick way to get at a business or social friend, or when the bill comes round. For example, if you are moving your house, from one side to another in a country town and telephone wires care across the street or road and in the way, the company must take them down temporarily and let your house go past, ‘unless there is another street or alley, ' just as convenient, along which the In that event, you go the house could be moved. the company can make cther way.

There has been some talk about unau- thorized ‘“‘listening,’’ but nobody knows just how to get at the sinners. Too ntuch of it is done innocently and merely for purposes of gossip. But the telephone wire is not guar- anteed to be a secret passageway in any event. Legally it is practically nothing more than a new road for the voice, made for purely business rea- sons as serviceable and perfect as~pos- sible. Meanwhile it is perfectly good evi- dence for witnesses to testify as to conversations overheard over a connect- ing telephone.

KAD AOOO BETTY VINCENT. The Mother-in-Law. IRLS, don’t* be too much fright- ened by the “mother-in-law” bugaboo. Of course it is natural for you to want your own home when you mar: ry. On the other hand, imagine your- self grown old and with no one but a son to keep you owt of the old ladies’ home! A young man who has parents to care for is often placed in a rather difficult position. His salary will not allow him to keep up two establishments and yet the girl he loves absolutely refuses to live with a “‘mother-in-law.’’ The right sort of a girl will not put him in any -such. position.

OW many of us know the | woman who boasts of having the full confidence of her children? The woman who “MY Willie and MY Ethel wouldn’t dream of doing anything behind my back that they wouldn’t do before my face. I MUST say there's nothing sneaky about MY thildren!” And still, when Willie and Ethel have been over at our house, playing with our children, we have seen them do the sneakiest, most petty things, courage- ous in the knowledge that they are re- moved from motier’s watchful eye! It is difficult to get a child's confi- dence. Children seem to start out with the idea that ‘“‘grown-ups” are banded together in a sort of antagonistic cor- poration against them, and it’s not easy to overcome that belief. When your child is ill or tired it is glad that its mother and father are bigger and stronger and able to pro- tect and shelter; but when it is perfect- ly well it feels independent, and the only way you can acquire its trust is by meeting it on a child’s level. —_— —_ =~ HERE are so many women just aching to be the “right sort’ of mothers; sO many women who are willing to sacrifice anything and every- thing to their children! They try very hard—but they don’t_know how to g0 about it. If a mother can get her child's -con- fidence she may feel pretty sure that nothing very radically wrong will, hap- pen to that child. Fond mothers the world over revile the woman who beats and who howls harshly at her children. The common exclamation is: how much she could accomplish by be- ing gentle!”’ That’s where they make the mistake. “Being gentle’ is not the entire solu- tion. The practice of moral suasion hasn’t been a complete success. A grave and gentle judge frightens a guilty child almost as much as @ loud, rampant one.

Did it ever o¢eur to you that ff the little faults they commit, sometimes all — unknowing, were put in the scale against your shortcomings, the balance would go down with an awful bump on your side? This is not a plea for the “spoiling” of the child. it.is just an earnest en- treaty for you to be your child's cap- able companion rather than its omni- present judge. Quick Recovery, AMMA,” gaid Johnny, “if you will let me go just this one time, I won’t ask for anything to eat.” “All right,” said the mother. “Get your hat.” Johnny, perched on the edge of a very big chair, became restless as sav- ory odors came from the region of the kitchen.

Mis Edith Pulitzer Bride of William NEW YORK. ——) 22.—_Miss Edith Pulitzer, elder daughter of the late Jo- seph Pulitzer, was married yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock to William 5S. Moore, son of the late Clement C. Moore. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Ernest M. Stires in the ball- room or: Mrs. Pulitzer’s home, 7 Wast Seventy-third street. Only members of the two families were present. The ballroom Was transformed into a chapel, and at one end a chancel was formed by palms, Christmas greens and holly, in front of which a prie dieu was placed, upon which the couple knelt. As the bride entered the room with her brother, Ralph Pulitzer, who gave her @vay, the wedding march was played by Mr. Rechlin on the large pipe organ in the hall. The bride’s gown was of white: satin, with a long court train, and her moth- cr’s old Venetian point lace covered the bodice and formed the sleeves. She wore a tulle veil, edged with Venetian lace and fastened with a cap of similar lace. Her jewels consisted of her moth- er’s gift, a corsage ornament of dia- monds and a string of pearls given to her by her father. Instead of a bouquet she carried a prayer book. Miss Constance Pulitzer was her sis- ter’s maid of honor and only attendant. Hert gown was of white embroidered chiffon and she carried a bouquet of white flowers. Barrington Moore was his brother’s best man. A reception, to which no additional guests were invited, followed. Among those present were Mrs. Pulitzer, Joseph Pulitzer Jr., Her- bert Pulitzer} Mrs. Ralph Pulitzer and Mrs. Barrington Moore. Mr. Moore and his bride will sail for Europe Dec. 30 on the Olympic, and after spending some time on the Ri- viera, will join Mr. Moore’s mother in Algiers. + lei

Try Olive Tablets—the Substitute for Calomcl. °

Dr, Edwards’ Olive Tablets are the one substitute for dangerous calomel. They do all of calomel’s work without any of its bad after effects. _~*There is no necessity, when you take Olive Tablets, of following them up with nasty, sickening, griping salts or eastor oil, as you should after taking calomel. Olive Tablets do not contain calomel] or any other metallic drugs; they are a -pnrely vegetable compound mixed with olive oil, sugar-coated, easy to take, ‘and never gripe or cause weakness, Thousands of people take one every ight at bedtime just to prevent dis- oes of the liver, constipation, bad breath, pimples, headaches, etc. Olive Tablets are made of pure veg- ‘etable compounds mixed with olive oil. Dr, Edwards, calomel’s old enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tab. Jets after seventeen years of practice among patients afflicted with liver and bowel troubles. | ‘them for a week.

j | SAS BURGESS HAS MADE HI LOOK IKE PURPLE CW Man Caricatured Insists Resem- *blance to Invented Animal Hurts Him $100,000 Worth. SEEKS THAT MUCH BALM Libel , Suit Charges Author’s Book Holds Him Up as a Curiosity. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, Dec. 21.—William— HR. Dailey, who has sued Gelett Burgess for $100,000 damages, says the author has made him appear like another Pur- ple Cow, the amusing animg which sprang from the Burgess brain a few years ago. Just as ‘he believes the cow has been presented in false colors, Mr. Dalley believes Burgess has put him in the wrong light. He alleges that a character named Dailey, as drawn in Mr. Burgess’ novel, “The Heart Line,” is a libel on himself. The suit has been brought in the Su- preme Court of New York. Justice Vernon M,. Davis, before whom a de- murrer to Mr. Dailey’s complaint wa argued a few days ago, is expected to render his decision on that point soon. Mr. Dailey in his complaint alleges that the public has been caused to as- sociate him with persons of unsound mind and disreputable habits, and is led to believe that he is ‘‘a curiosity” and that his conduct and manner of living are not that of an “ordinary, sound, reasonable, and decent’? member of society. He also takes exception to the other characters who figure in Mr. Burgess’ chapter, “My San Francisco Improbabilities,” and calls attention to the fact that in the chapter of “The Heart Line,” that is, the basis of the action, Dailey is made to order a case of champagne with every meal. ‘Case of Champagne With Each Meal.’ The part of “‘The Heart Line” which Mr. Dailey considers to be a reflection on him, and which is quoted in the Complaint filed by H. D. Sears of 49 Wall street, Mr. Dailey’s lawyer, reads: Clytie accepted the diversion, evi- dently only too glad to change the subject. “What collection?” she asked. “My San Francisco improbabilities. I've got a note book full of them— things no sane Easterner would be- lieve possible, and no novelist care to use in fiction.’’ “Oh, yes, I remember your telling me. What are they? One was that house made entirely of doors, wasn’t it?’’ “Yes, “The House of One Hundred and Eighty Doors’ at the foot of Ninth street. Then there is the hulk of the Orizaba over by the Union Iron Works, where ‘Frank the Frenchman’ lives like a hermit, eats swill, and bathes in the sewage of the harbor. Then there’s ‘Munson’s Mystery’ on the North Reach—no- body has ever found out who Mun- son is. And Dailey, the star eater _ of the Palace Hotel—he used to have four canvasback ducks cooked, se- lected one, and used only the juice from the others; he ordered soup at a dollar a plate; and he had a hap- py way of buying a case of cham- pagne with each meal, drinking only the top glass from each bottle.”’ »Clytie laughed now, for Cayley was In one of his most amusing and en- _thusiastic moods. “Do you remem- ‘ber that tramp who lived all sum- mer in the Hensler vault in Calvary Cemetery ?’’ “Yés, but that isn’t so impossible as Kruger’s Castle out’ in the sand hills by Tenth avenue. It’s a per- fect jumble in job-lot buildings from the Mid-Winter Fafr, like a night- mare palace. I went out there once: and saw. Old Mother Kruger, so tor- tured with rheumatism that she had to crawl around on her hands and ‘knees. She had only one tooth left. The old man is one of the last of the wood engravers and calls himself the Emperor of the Nations. He has resurrected Hannibal and an army of 200,000 men; also he revived Pom- peli for three days. He wanted to biting Mayor Sutro \back to life for mt, but I wouldn't stand for it.” Cayley swept on with his anec- dotes. “Who would believe the story of ‘Big Bertha,’ who buncoed all the swellest Hebrews in town, and end- ed by playing Mazeppa in tights at the Bella Union Theater? Who has written the true story of Dennis Kearney, the hack driver, who had his speeches written for him by re- porters, and went East with a big head, unconsciously to plagiarize Wendell Phillips in Faneull Hall? Or of ‘Mammy’ Pleasant, the old riegress who had such mystericus influence over so many millionaires —who couldn't be bribed—who died at last, with all her secrets untold? There’s romance in purple letters!” Not True, Says the Real Dailey. Mr. Sears said yesterday that he did not believe that Mr. Burgess had ever met Mr. Dailey, who, he said, was 4 man of means prominently identified with the smelting business in the West. “What we want,” eaid Mr. Sears, “is &@ chance to prove that the Dailey of ‘The Heart Line’ was intended to, and did, refer to Mr. William H. Dailey of fan Francisco, who for many years lived at the Palace Hotel in that city. FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 22, 1911.

general te believe that this plaintiff was a man of great extravagance in his manner of living, and was @ man of intemperate habits, used to drinking @ great deal of champagne, to -wit, twelve (12) glasses with each and every one of his meals; a glass from 12 sep- arate bottles, discarding the remaining contents thereof; and other forms of ridiculous and useless extravagance. That a case of wine is generally and commonly known in the trade and to the public in general to contain 1% separate bottles.” Mr. Dailey states that the statements in Mr. Burgess’ book on which his ac- tion is based are false and that as a result of their publication he has been injured in feelings and reputation and caused great mental suffering, all to his damage in the sum of $100,000. He asks judgment in the above amount to- gether with the costs and disbursements of the action. Mr. Lockwood of Cornell, Lockwood & Jeffrey, 34 Nassau street, attorneys for Mr. Burgess and his publishers, said yesterday that in the demurrer to the complaint which he argued before Jus- tice Davis his contention was that the complaint did not contain facts suf- ficient to constitute a cause of action such as had been brought by Mr. Dailey. . Gelett Burgess is the author of many | books, among them “Goops and How to be Them,” “Burgess Nonsense Book,”” “The Rubayyat of Omar Cay- enne,”’ “‘Are You a Bromide?” and ‘‘Ro- mance of the Commonplace.’ LA SALLE CANDY SHOP Has a complete line of fancy baskets and boxes at reasonable prices.

By Associated Press. NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—One of the greatest slumps in immigration recorded at the port of New York is being writ- ten into the records at Ellis Island dur- ing the closing days of the year. Al- ready the records show that nearly 300,000 fewer immigrants have landed there up to the present time than for the corresponding period in 1910 and in- dicutions are, Commissioner Williams states, that there will be a reduction of 30 per cent or more from 1910 figures for the year. The incoming tide of human- ity is lower now than at any time Since 1908. While the tide is at its ebb, every ship leaving for Europe, is crowded as never before. One vessel sailing a couple of days ago left 500 steerage passengers on the wharf because of inability to find accommodations aboard for them. Dur- ing the first 10 days of December,. 1910, 13,706. third-class passengers sailed for Europe; this year 25,245. Outbound ves- sels carried nearly 50 per cent more third-class passengers this year than last. Here are the figures that tell the story: YEAR, ee 1910 1909 1908 Arrivals.

Nobody had ever dared enter a Borie house unless he or she was invited, and even in Phila- delphia there are few enough persons who have been so invited. Yet at 3 o’clock in the morning a man who is not on the visiting list of any Borie, climbed into Miss Sophie Borie’s bedroom in the fashionable apartment house where she resides. hen the janitor who saw him enter, and two policemen, all uninvited, awak- ened the startled Miss Borie and dragged the intruder from under her bed. The man called himself John Smith. Later he acknowledged that he is John Case, a lawyer, 35 years old. His only excuse’ was that he was very tipsy was when he ventured to enter the home of a Borie, Later he was taken before Police Magistrate Haggerty, but Miss Borie did not appear against him.

HEATH GETS NEARER M. A. C. POINT CUP _ By winning two of the four events in the Missour! Athletic Club’s bi-monthly swimming meet Thursday’ evening, Chauncey Heath practically assured himself of the trophy offered to the paddler s®oring the greatest number of points during the season. His total now is 40 points, against Hugh Siegel and Manfred Toeppen, who are tied for second with 24 each. . Siegel had a chance prior to last night, but lost con- siderable ground by not competing. Heath took the 100 and 200 yard dash- es, both from scratch. He was forced to divide honors with Brigham, who won the 100-vard breast stroke and the i1sp-yard back stroke events. REDS’ NEW MANAGER PASSES UP SPRINGS CHICAGO, Dec, 22.—“Hahk’f O'Day, manager of the Cincinnati; Reds, and former umpire, if he lives up to an an- nouncement, will be a “golden rule’”’ manager. He said that he will devote no part of his time to umpire baiting. O'Day declares that his shift from umpire to manager will not change his viewpoint as to what the relations between the two should be on the diamond. “I will treat the umpire just as JI would have the manager treat me were I umpiring, and just as I ingisted on them treating me for many years,” he said. | O'Day said the team would not train at Hot Springs, as it had been an- nounced it would. WALLACE INTENDS 10 START SEASON WiThi SMALL CREW [Ten or Fifteen Browns Will Be Released on Manager’s Ar- rival Here. A. BY C. F. LLOYD. Ten or fifteen ambitious young ball- players, now on the reserve list of the Browns, are not going to wake up Christmas morning to find. local con- tracts in their stockings. That’s be- Manager Roderick Wallace’s cause do some chopping. Bob is coming to St. Louis. shortly after New Years. He will go over the list of performers with Owner Hedges and then prepare for shipment a half score or mote of young athletes to mi- nor league teams. The Browns’ man- eger wants to begin the training season with as few players as possible. With almost 40 players in the party in Hot Springs iast March, it was next to impossible for Wallace to devote as much time as he would have liked to the juveniles. Ballplayers were falling cver themselves because of the crowd at Majestic Park. Riggs Is Newest Brownie. While Wallace could stand for im- provement in many departments of his team, he needs bolstering most in the outfield. Aside from the 1911 trinity of fly chasers—Messrs. Hogan, Shotton and Schweitzer—Mr. Hedges will have up for Wallace’s approval seven young- sters., . The newest member of this set is young Riggs, who hails from the Hous- ton (Texas League) team. Riggs was captured by Mr. Hedges on the latter’s sojourn in the Lone Star State. Accurd- ing to the Browns’ boss, he led the Texas League in hitting and is highly praised by those who saw him perform. If Fred Lake’s judgment counts. for anything, Jim Magee, one of the three Lowell (New England League) players lined up, has a good chance to become a regular here. Magee is a brother of Sherwood Magee of slugging fame. Like his brother, he is a hitter and fairly burned up the New Engtand League this season. There are othérs, and accord- ing to all reports, Hogan,.Shotton and Schweitzer will have to hustle to win daily labor. Hugeins Boosts Hank O’Day. Miller Huggins. the clever Cardinal second sacker, is out with a big boost for “Hank” O'Day, the Reds’ new manager. Huggins was a candidate for the job, but the fact that Garry Herr- mann chose another has not displeased the ‘“‘Rabbit,’’ who will again be on the job at the keystone position for R. Pat Bresnahan. Following O’Day's appoint- ment, Huggins chirped as follows to a Cincinnati scribe: “Any man who has been as success- jful as an umpire as he has been for many years must have a great deal of real character. He knows baseball and ball players, and he has the courage to assume the responsibility. Another important thing in his favor is that he will not get sore and lose his head over criticism. There are bound to be some knocks if a club is going badly, but they will roll right off Hank’s back and he will keep on with his settled policy. I have a very high personal regard for O’Day, and. believe that he will make good. “Too much should not be expected of him the first year, but give him time and I think he has the ability to develop a winner. I look for him to make a distinct hit in the National League and become as favorably known as a man- ager as he is as an umpire.’’ NELSON GETS TOUGH FOE IN MR.

Western Tenpin February 16-25. ‘Congress Sf When the Western Bowling Congress convenes at Los Angeles Feb. 16 a sirall delegation of St. Louis pin topplers wi!l be among the vast army that will shoot for the biggest cash prizes ever offered for such an event. Just how many local bowlers will compete is not known, but an entry of at least five already has been pledged by the local leagues. The transcontinental trip is all that will deter a majority of local tenpin stars from entering, as they already have taken a keen interest in the tig tournament because of the lavish prizes which will be distributed. For instance, in the five-man event, the winners’ pot will be $2000. The sec- ond team will get $750, while the third- place five will pull down the snug sum of $400. In the two-man event, the win- ners get $500, seconds, $300 and thirds. $200. The best individual pin toppier will annex $350; second, $250, and thira, $150. There are 20 prizes for the five- man event, 30 for the two-man and 4 for the individuals. The winner of the all-events will get $100. These are the biggest cash bonuses ever offered the bowlers. The American Bowling Congress and N. B. A. have offered more prize money in an aggre- gate total, but have never proportivne. it in such handsome sums. Last year, for instance, the first prize for the five- man event was $750. At Los Angeles the winners in this event will get $1250 more than the A. B. C. victors. Possible to Win $1100. And it is just this cash prize bait which has caught the eye of the local bowlers. It has been figured out that one man, if he rolls consistently, could carry away $1100 in cash prizes, which feat, if accomplished, would be far and away the biggest “haul’’ ever made vy a single bowler. To get such a small fortune he would have to win the Individual event, $350, be a member of the championship five-_ man team, $400, and likewise of the two-man team, $250. Then he would have to cop in the all-events, $100, which totals up to $1100. Arrangements already have been made to send the Budweiser team of the City League. This club has toured the coun- try for the past two years and has al- ways made a good showing. At present they are near the top of the City League scramble, bucking the best bowlers of St. Louis. The Budweiser players are: George Grupe, John Yierkes, Jack Beresford, C. L. Hippe, John Robertson and Robert O’Brien. Made a Poor Showing. In the recent Middle West tourna- ment at Des Moines the Budweisers up- set only 2693 pins, the poorest showing they ever made in tournament competi- tion. A year ago at Buffalo the Bud- weisers toppled 2750 pins and finished well up near the top. A total of 2718 won the Western Bowl- ing Congress championship at Seattle last year. This mark has been bettered by many St. Louis teams in champion- ship competition and it is almost a cer- tainty that the local rollers would carry away the bulk of the prize money should they invade Los Angeles in February. Dennis Jeremiah Sweeney, the Ban Johnson of the local bowling world, may be an added starter when the St. Louis entry steams away forethe coast. Den- nis hasn’t missed a big bowling show in eons and eons, and he probably will not overlook this—one. Cobb and Comiskey Fail to Agree on the ‘‘20 Greatest”’ “Old Roman”’ in Selections While Tyrus Sticks to Modern Stars. Charles Comiskey, magnate, and Ty- rus Cobb, player, duly renowned and advertised, recently attempted to pick the ‘{T'wenty greatest ball players,’’ this being quite the proper caper now-a- days. It is a singular and interesting fact that they agree on very few players. However Comiskey’s selection is for all time while Cobb’s pick is only from the present American League athletes. Their selections follow: BY — BY COBB, Bill Donovan, Ed Walsh. Walter Johnson, Eddie Collins, Harry Lord. (oscar Stanage, Sam Crawford, Joe J ackson, Clyde Milan. Billy SulMvan, y Cobb.

The rug-time tournament is the latest thing in bowling styles and it’s being done rather extensively. No one seems to understand just what a rag-time tourney is, but ‘tis said that this is the idea. Tourney is for two-man teams. You can enter and bow! as often as you want, the best score win- ning. If you don’t like your partner you can switch off and get a new one and keep on bowling. In that way the two best bowl- ers will cop, sure. A rag-time tournament will be staged at the Rex Alleys, under the supervision of “Handicap Jake’ Pfleuger all next week, closing on New Year's eve. Suitable prizes oar be awarded. A similar tourney will be ut on at the De Soto Sunday and Mon- day (Christmas). No gtartling changes in the City League, thank you. In fact none at all. All matches resulted in 2—1 breaks with the Budweisers, Old Lynchs, Burkes, Stifels, Union Sodas on the winning side and the St. Clairs, Duffys. Hyde Parks, Washington and Metallics on the wrong end. The Union Sodas maintained their lead in the championship race by nosing out the Metallics. Jerry Ameling rendered yoeman service to the winners, knocking 223 pins in his last came.

New York 44. St. Louis now looks to Tommy Car- ter; who has not lost a championship cue match in two years, to pull the local team out of last place in the Na- tional Amateur Three-Cushion League. By defeating John Dankleman of New York Thursday evening,. 50—44, Carter maintained an unbroken string, which extends back for two years. Cartér was not at his best Thursday evening. He averaged only .47, but he rallied at the: fag end’ of the match and clicked off a run of 5, putting him out in front in the ninetieth inning. He won out in the 107th. Dankleman start- ed with a rush and held the lead at the half-way mark. Dankleman made a run of 5 early in the match, but could not repeat. The defeat of New York was the fourth successive reverse, the Gay Goth- am experts having dropped three in a row to Kansas City. Tonight New York will play its second game here, and Peterson probably will come back with Carter. There’s a chance that he may vse Elmer Farrar, but the cue fans are clamtoring for Carter.

TAMMANY LEADER IN BOTH BIG LEAGUES NEW YORK, . 22.—It was reported here today, apparently on good author- ity, that when James E. Gaffney, a New York contractor, recently bought the franchise of the Boston (National League) club he was acting jointly with Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall. It is said that Gaffney put up close to $190,000 to swing the deal and that Murphy has become half owner. It is also said Gaffney is the real owner of the Washington club, having supplied Clark Griffith with something like $200,000 to purchase McAleer’s inter- est. ——— The tiegitimate PAID circulation of the Post-Dispatch in St. Louts and its suburbs is greater than that of oa other st.

Ratican will perform in the place of Johnny Miller at halfback. As told in the : Post-Dispatch several days ago, Miller is out of commission because of an attack of blood poisoning in his leg. Manager Klosterman of the St. Leos says that Duke Sheahan, the team’s regular goalkeeper, reports himself ready for duty, but that Joe Flynn, the versatile performer, will probably be seen between the goal posts when the curtain rings up.

Although both local major league teams will train at home next spring. the Cardinals probably will be the only team to go a-trouping. Aiready four *xhibition games have been booked, as follows: At Kansas City, March 16-17; at Joplin, March 19-20. Negotiations are on for two more games to be played at St. Joseph later in March. Should these games conflict with the spring series jousts with the Browns, Bresnahan will send his sec- ond team to St. Joseph. However, such will be stipulated in the contract and the local club will not make itself Mable to a fine for “misrepresentation.” Schedule for the local spring series has not been made, but probably will be settled upon after the first of the year when Managers Bresnahan and Wallace will make their homés here.

MODERN MILLER. Plentiful moisture recently. received throughout the winter wheat country has been highly beneficial to the crop, | especially to the late-sown seedings, which suffered 1 ag A from the roy od severe freezes. n Michigan, Northern Ohio and Indiana, Nevraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and parts of Texas, snow covers the plant, but elsewhere there is no protection from excessive cold weather

Longs sold out their holdings in wheat Friday in, advance of the three-day hol- iday and prices favored the sellers. Speculation, however, was qiuet with professionals making the market. The market news was bearish, Crop expert B. W. Snow again sent favor- able crop reports from the Argentine, and the estimates of the exportable sur- pilus there was enlarged. Argentine shipments overran the estimates and forecasts for world’s shipments for the week were fairly heavy. Broomhall estimated the world’s wheat shipments for the week, exclusive of North America, at 4,800,000 bu, against 5,502,000 bu last week and §8,464,u00 bu last year. He predicted a moderate decrease of breadstuff on passage. The Argentine wheat shipments were estimated yesterday at 40,000 bu, but they totaled 216,000 bu, against 120,000 bu last week and 568,000 bu last year. Corn shipments were none, against none last week and 2,992,000 bu last year. Since Jan. 1 Argentine wheat shipments here totaled 87,050,000 bu, against 72,264,000 bu last year. A heavy run of wheat is in- dicated from there after the first of the year, as soon as the new crop, which is a record-breaker, starts to move. Indian wheat shipments for the week totaled 800,000 bu, against 296,000 bu last year, and since May 1, 36,400,000 bu, against 30,032,000 bu last year. Australfan shipments for the week were 616,000 bu, against 352,000 bu last year. Northwestern wheat receipts were liberal. Minneapolis had 462 cars, last week 458, last year 287. Duluth had 41, last week 59, last year 574 cars, against 247 last year. Minneapolis wheat stocks increased 925,000 bu for the Week. Local Wheat receipts today were 31,900 bu, or 22 cars local, 7 through; last year, 47,300 bu, or 38 cars local, 5 through. Corn receipts today, 56,400 bu, or 38 cars local,.9 through; last year, 61,200 bu, or 44 cars local, 7 through. Oats receipts, 76,500 bu, or 13 cars local, 22 through; last year, 100,300 bu, or 44 cars local, 7 through. Broomhall’s Liverpool cable said: ‘“The wheat market opened with a firm under- tone, with shorts nervous and prices 4d higher. Weakness in American cables and the decline in Winnipeg yesterday was offset here by the closing firmness in Buenos Ayres gnd unsettled weather in the Argentine. Following the open- ing there was realizing by the early buyers and prices declined %d to %d on a later report from Argentine of fine weather, the rain over night having failed to materialize, and where raining last night having been displaced by clearing and hot. Just before midday there was renewed covering and prices reacted slightly upward on lack of pres- eure to sell Argentine offers and the forecast of smaller world’s shipments other than American this week. Spot markets were dull but firm, with an im- proved demand for Manitoba grades. Corn opened 4d lower and further de- =
